The gas pressure decreases as the volume the container that holds the gas is increased. It's a directly proportional relationship.

Answer:

The gas pressure decreases by half its initial value.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Boyle's law, the reationshipp between volume and pressure at constnat temperature is an inverse one. This proves that as the volume of a gas increases, its pressure decreases respectively. So, the answer to the question is that the gas pressure would decrease accordingly.
