When Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants that have inflated pods (PP) with those that have constricted pods (pp), it was observed that F1 offspring had a genotype of Pp. What would their phenotype be?

First off, the PHENOTYPE is the APPEARANCE of the pea plants. 

A Capital P means that the pod is INFLATED. 
A lowercase p means that the pod is CONSTRICTED. 

Every genotype is made up of two letters. 

Here's the BIG RULE:
The CAPITAL letter always matters more than the lowercase letter. 

If the genotype is (P p), 
then what would the phenotype be? 

What kind of pod would the pea plants have, if the Capital letter matters more than the lowercase letter? 

Would it be inflated, or constricted?
