Answer:

If the temperature of gas is decreased the pressure will also goes to decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure and temperature have direct relation. If the temperature of gas will increase the pressure of gas will also goes to increase.

According to the Gay-Lussas's Law,

The pressure of given amount of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature when volume is kept constant.

Mathematical relationship:

P ∝ T

P = kT

P/T = k

and

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
