Answer:

It is a scientific law

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientific law states a constant relationship between two or more variables, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. It is a constant and unchanging rule, usually expressed mathematically which allows to predict the unknown based on what is known with logical and real relationships.

A scientific theory is a set of concepts and rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts and generates a principle or set of principles to explain a phenomenon.

Let's differentiate first what a theory and a law is. A theory is an attempt explanation of a natural phenomenon. When the theory is approved by a number of scientists, this becomes a law. An example would be the ideal gas law. The equation is: PV=nRT. Since volume and temperature are directly proportional, when T increases, the V must also increase.
