Answer:

Density is directly proportional to pressure. This means that as pressure increases, density also increases, and as pressure decreases, density decreases.

Explanation:

he equation that represents this relationship is:

PV=nRT

Where:

P: is pressure

V: is volume

n: is the number of moles

R: is the gas constant

T: is temperature

From this equation, you can see that when n and T are constant, an increase in pressure (P) results in an increase in density (n/ V), and a decrease in pressure results in a decrease in density.
