Why doesn’t the total pressure increase when more gas is added to the chamber? (hint: what would you see if the volume of the chamber was fixed?)

Answer:

It won't increase according to Boyle's law

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure so as more fixed volume of gas is added to the chamber the pressure reduces
