If the volume of a gas is decreased by changing the shape of the container, the number of collisions per area between the molecules and the container walls will increase. This corresponds to an increase in the gas pressure, which is the force exerted per area. What gas law is kinetic molecular theory of gases (KMT) explaining in this case
