For a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, if we decrease volume, the pressure will increase _________.
Answer: High
Explanation
This relationship is called Boyle's Law and makes up part of the ideal gas law.
When the volume of a gas shrinks, the gas molecules have less space to move around and so they hit their container.
