Boyle's Law states that the volume of a gas at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure. As bubbles rise in a deep column of water, the pressure exerted on the bubbles decreases due to the weight of the water above. According to Boyle's Law, as the pressure decreases, the volume of the gas (i.e. the bubble) will increase, leading to an increase in diameter.
