what will happen to the pressure and which law does it support

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

decrease and boyles law?

OpenStudy (kaylak12345):

increase and boyles law

More generally, the ideal gas law states that \[PV=nRT\]with pressure \(P\), volume \(V\), amount of gas \(n\), ideal gas constant \(R\), and temperature \(T\). You're told that \(n\) and \(T\) stay the same, so the right hand side is constant. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional, so if one changes positively, the other changes negatively. Therefore if \(V\) decreases, then \(P\) must increase. You are correct. (And yes, Boyle's law is a special case of the ideal gas law.)
