The pressure of a fixed amount of ças is iversely proportional to the inverse of es Fs

Explanation / Answer

Ans: The pressure of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its volume (2nd option)

Boyle's law, P is inversely proportional to V at constant temperature

PV = k, constant

P = k / V

It can be seen from the graph, as the pressure increases the volume decreases and vice versa.
