C)Pressure and volume will both increase together or both decrease together.
D)Pressure increases when volume decreases.

Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at a constant temperature and a constant pressure. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and as the volume increases, the pressure decreases. Therefore, when the volume decreases, the pressure increases, leading to answer choice D.
