PLS HELP According to Boyle's Law, at a constant temperature, as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases. Which statement below best explains this observation?
1. The molecules move faster, and thus, collide with the walls of the container more frequently.
2. The molecules now have more room to move about and, thus, pressure is increased.
3. The gas particles are compressed together and now have to travel less distance, thus causing them to collide with the walls of the container more frequently.
4. the molecules lose kinetic energy and slow down, thus causing them to collide with the walls for longer periods of time.
