Yes it does.

Fixed volume In terms of gases,is that a fixed volume would mean that the pressure, temperature and the number of molecules can change but the volume, or area in which the molecules lie, must remain constant.

You can squirt water from a plastic bottle because you can change the shape and reduce the volume.
