Answer:

The volume will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's Law:

"When a constant mass of an ideal gas is kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

$p\propto (1)/(V)$

where:

p is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

In this problem, we are asked what happens to the volume of a gas if its pressure increases. The equation above can be rewritten as

$V\propto (1)/(p)$

Therefore, we see that the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure: so, if the pressure increases, the volume will decrease.
