Answer:

Volume if a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas in any container

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the explanation of Boyle's law which states that at constant temperature the Volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. This law is also known as Volume - pressure relationship

In application (in a gas container): if volume decreases, pressure decreases and vice versa
