Let's start with the ideal gas equation: 

$$pV = nRT $$

Let's say we know the pressure and volume and we keep temperature constant and that's what our question is talking about. 

$$p_{1}V_{1} = p_{2}V_{2}$$

|dw:1456690061842:dw|

so clearly based off of this, when the pressure decreases the volume increases

does this make sense to you?

greatlife44 · Answer

like why volume increases when pressure decreases
