Answer: So if the volume increases, the pressure decreases. ... Boyle's law states that for a fixed amount of gas in an enclosed system at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional

Explanation:

This linear relationship between pressure and volume means doubling the volume of a given mass of gas decreases its pressure by half.

PV = c

or

P ∝ 1/V

If the volume increases then the pressure would decrease.
