Answer:

If the pressure doubles, the volume decreases in half.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas can be explained by Boyle's Law. According to this law, the volume and pressure of the gas has an inversely proprietary relationship. In that case, if the pressure on the volume decreases in the same intensity and if the pressure decreases, the volume increases in the same proportion. In that case, if the pressure of a gas sample doubles, the volume decreases by half.
