C. pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Gay- Lussac's law is defining a relationship between the pressure and temperature at a constant volume for an ideal gas.
  • The law says that when there is an increase in the temperature of the ideal gas then the pressure of the gas is also increasing. There created a direct relationship between temperature and pressure.
  • Option A tells us that collision and pressure are not related which is not true, Option B is saying that as pressure increases the collisions of the gas particles decreases which is not correct, Option C is drawing the correct relationship between pressure and temperature, and option D is talking the reverse of option C which is incorrect. Hence, the answer is C
