Answer:

directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry’s law,

Sg = k Pg

where Sg, k and Pg are solubility of the gas, Henry’s constant and partial pressure of the gas respectively.

According to Henry’s law the amount of gas that can dissolve in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
