According to Boyle's Law,
" the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on it'.

Mathmatically,
V ∞ 1 / P
Or,
V = k / P
Step-by-step explanation:
The balloon filled with Neon gas outside the chamber will have greater volume than in the chamber because the pressure in the chamber is high as compared to outside. So, the outside force brings the molecule of gas to get closer to each other.
