It will increase?
No it will decrease when the same amount of gas is held at constant temperature.

If the volume of a gas increases what happens to the temperature?
According to Charles' Law: Volume of a gas increases as temperature inceases. But if the gas is contained in a rigid container then the volumme cannot increase, but the pressure will.
How does the gas volume vary with change in pressure?
This one is explained in Boyle's Law. It was stated that if the temperature is constant, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. Thus, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases. It is also the same as if the pressure decreases, the volume of the gas increases.
What is the relationship between the volume and the pressure os gas?
Indirect. As the volume of a gas is decreased, the pressure increases.
If the pressure on a gas increases four fold what happens to its volume?
The volume, in this case, will reduce by a factor of 4 (i.e., to 1/4 of its previous volume).
What happens to the gas volume at a given pressure?
The gas takes on the size and shape of the container it's in. So if you make the volume of the container smaller (compress it) the volume of the gas is smaller as well. However, this comes at a higher pressure exerted, so there is no spontaneous mass creation.Well, by definition, compress means "to make smaller; to press or squeeze together; or to make something occupy a smaller space or volume." Therefore, the very word "compress" implies a decrease in volume. So if you wanted to know what happens when you compress a gas, you are squeezing it into a smaller space, or decreasing the volume.If you were to let the gas maintain a constant temperature as you compress it, then pressure would increase. If you were to let the gas maintain a constant pressure, then temperature would decrease.If you were to rephrase your question to "what happens to the volume of gas if put under pressure," then the gas' volume would decrease. For the temperature to remain constant and the pressure to increase, a gas must decrease in volume to occupy a smaller area.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant pressure what happens?
Volume increases
What happens to its volume when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure?
The volume increases.
What happens when the pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when a pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
If the temperature of a gas is decreased at a constant pressure what happens to its volume?
When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
What happens to gas when pressure is applied to it?
the pressure and the temperature increases, and the volume is reduced.
What happens for a gas at a constant volume?
When the Temperature increases, so does the Pressure.
What happens to pressure when gas expands?
If the gas is contained at a constant volume, the pressure increases. If the gas is not contained, the pressure remains the same or drops.
What happens to the temperature if the pressure of a gas increases?
The pressure increases.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
If the volume of a gas increases what happens to the temperature?
According to Charles' Law: Volume of a gas increases as temperature inceases. But if the gas is contained in a rigid container then the volumme cannot increase, but the pressure will.
