The pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that, At a constant temperature and the number of moles of a gas, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas.

In equation form, this is written as PpropVPV or P_1V_1=P_2V_2P1V1=P2V2.

Here is a picture about the law:

Boyle's law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the temperature and the number of particles are constant.

Explanation:

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2P1V1=P2V2
P_1P1 and V_1V1 represent the pressure and volume of a gas before a change occurs.
P_2P2 and V_2V2 represent the pressure and volume of a gas after a change occurs.
