Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Boyle's law, there is an inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at a constant temperature. This means that as pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa. Therefore, if the pressure is increased by a factor of 4, the volume must decrease by a factor of 4 to maintain a constant temperature.
