What effect would a decrease in volume have on pressure, assuming that temperature (T) and moles of gas (n) are kept constant

Pressure increases

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that; '' the volume of a given mass of ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature.

Hence, when the volume of a given mass of ideal gas is decreased, the molecules of the gas come closer together so they collide with each other and the walls of the container more frequently.

This implies that the pressure of the gas increases as volume decreases in accordance with Boyle's law.
