Boyles law states P1V1=P2V2
P being pressure and V being volume
So volume and pressure

Answer:

Pressure and volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's law was discovered by Robert Boyle in the seventeenth century, defined the basis for explaining the relationship between pressure and volume that exists in a gas.

Through a series of experiments he discovered that a gas under a constant temperature decreases the volume when we increase the pressure, and its volume increases when we reduce the pressure.

Boyle's law: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

The pressure (P) of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume (V) of a gaseous mass at a constant temperature.
