Answer: The correct answer is:

The volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional when temperature is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law states that pressure of gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature in Kelvins.


P\propto (1)/(V) (At constant temperature)

Where: P = pressure of the gas

V = Volume occupied by the gas
