Answer:


V \alpha (1)/(P)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

This implies that, if the volume of a gas is halved, its pressure is doubled and vice versa.

This is mathematically represented as;
V \alpha (1)/(P) hence
PV = K. This is the mathematical statement of Boyle's law.
