the boyel' s law is the law which relates pressure and volume as:

For a fixed number of moles of gas at constant temperature the pressure of has is inversely proportional to volume of gas.

so if we cut the pressure half to its original pressure the volume of gas will get doubled


Pressure is inversely proportional to volume

or

PV = constant
