Answer;

Increases

As the pressure on a gas confined above a liquid increases, the solubility of the gas in the liquid increases.

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Henry's Law states that the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
  • In other words, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
  • According to Henry's Law,the greater the pressure of gas above the surface of a liquid, the higher the concentration of the gas in the liquid.
