When temperature decreases, pressure decreases. This is because the particles in the matter slow down and lower in the amount of energy when they cool down.
When pressure decreases from something such as a decrease in temperature, the volume of the gas increases. When temperature decreases, the volume of gas increases.

Answer:
As the temperature of a gas decreases, its volume increases.

Hope this helps!
