This is a statement of Boyle's Law, which states that, at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This can be expressed as PV = k, where P is absolute pressure, V is volume, and k is a constant. This law is named after the Anglo-Irish scientist Robert Boyle, who first stated it in 1662.
