Boyle's Law is a basic law in chemistry describing the behavior of a gas held at a constant temperature. The law, discovered by Robert A. Boyle in 1662, states that at a fixed temperature, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume and Pressure are inversely related. Temperature is held constant.

P * V = P1 * V1 is the formula for Boyle's Law.

I think what you need to put in the blank is

volume is inversely related to pressure.

A one word answer is nothing going to say that.
