Answer:

By elimination I know it's not CGL and I know it's not Charle's Law.

Gay-Lussac's law states the pressure of a a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas, when the volume is kept constant. I think it's Gay-Lussac's Law.

Boyle's law states that pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases which I got from a google search because I didn't know what it was.

CGL is the combined formula of all of these laws by the way

Charle's law is just gas expands when heated.

Gay-Lussac's is the best answer choice in my opinion
