Answer: The pressure will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's law states that "the volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it." In other words, if there is more volume for the gas to spread, the pressure will decrease.

This also goes the opposite way, meaning with less volume the pressure will increase.
