I have a balloon below and I squeeze it until it is about to pop. This is decreasing the volume. What happens to the pressure inside? What are the molecules doing inside?

Answer:

Pressure goes up

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. So when volume is decreased the pressure rises.

The molecules are getting pushed closer together and more collisions occur which will also increase the temperature.
