the particles of gas bouncing into the walls of the container.
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
To determine the gas pressure in a closed container, you can use a pressure gauge or a manometer. These devices measure the force exerted by the gas molecules on the walls of the container, which is directly related to the gas pressure. By using the readings from the pressure gauge or manometer, you can calculate the gas pressure in the closed container.
Gas Pressure
Contact between the particles of a gas and walls of the container cause pressure in a closed container of gas.

When hydrochloric acid comes into contact with aluminum, a chemical reaction occurs that produces hydrogen gas. If this reaction is enclosed in a container, the pressure inside the container increases as more gas is produced. Once the pressure reaches a critical point, the container may explode due to the buildup of gases.
A decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container as the gas molecules will have less kinetic energy, resulting in less frequent collisions with the container walls. Alternatively, removing some of the gas from the container will also lower the gas pressure as there are fewer gas molecules present to exert pressure on the walls.
Gas pressure in a closed system is caused by the constant collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container. These collisions create a force that exerts pressure on the walls of the container. The more frequent and vigorous the collisions, the higher the gas pressure.
The maximum pressure of vapor that can build up in a closed container is the vapor pressure of the substance at the given temperature. Once the vapor pressure is reached, the system reaches equilibrium and no further increase in pressure occurs. Any additional vapor will condense back into liquid form.
A decrease in gas pressure in a closed container could be caused by a decrease in temperature, which reduces the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, leading to fewer collisions with the container walls. It could also be caused by a leak in the container allowing gas to escape, or by a chemical reaction that consumes gas molecules.
