Answer:

DECREASE BY A FACTOR OF FOUR

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pressure equation:

P 1 / T1 = P2 /T2 (at constant volume)

P1 = P

T1 =T

P2 = ?

T2 = 4 T

So therefore;

P2 = P1T1/ T2

P2 = P T/ 4 T

P2 = 1/4 P

The pressure is decreased by a factor of four, the new pressure is a quarter of the formal pressure of the gas.
