If a gas is moved from a large container to a small container but its temperature and number of moles remain the same, what would happen to the pressure of gas

The pressure of the gas would increase.

When gas is transported from a larger area to a smaller area it begins to increase in pressure.

Hope I could help, have a good one!

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature and constant number of moles volume will be inversely proportional to pressure applied on a substance.

Mathematically, Volume
\propto \frac{1}{\text{pressure}}

Therefore, it means that decrease in volume will increase the pressure and vice-versa.

Hence, we can conclude that if a gas is moved from a large container to a small container but its temperature and number of moles remain the same, then there will be increase in the pressure of gas.
