Answer:

Two possibities: Increase in pressure or decrease in temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possibilities under the assumption that mass of the gas is conserved and, consquently, the amount of moles is also conserved, a reduction in the volume of the gas leads to an increase in pressure (Boyle's Law) and a decrease in temperature (Gay-Lussac's Law)
