Answer:

Pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In Charles Law Pressure is kept constant and the quantities that are manipulated is temperature. Therefore we can use Charles law in order to compare volume and temperature. Volume and temperature are directly proportional to each other.

V α T

V = kT
