What happens to the air pressure inside a vacuum chamber?

Short answer:A vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.Long answer:This question really depends on the case. For this answer I'll be referring to an air cylinder like in a paintball gun or so on. Air pressure is the pressure or force a gas exerts on an object. For example atmospheric air pressure is the weight of all the air in the atmosphere above you pushing down on you. Or in the case of a cylinder pressure is the force of the molecules and atoms of air bumping into the wall of the cylinder. the more collisions with the walls the higher the pressure. Adding more air means more atoms to bump around and more pressure. As you start to remove the atoms and molecules from the cylinder there are less and less to bump into the walls. Thus lowering the pressure of the cyclical. A vacuum is reached when there are little to no more molecules or atoms bouncing around inside the tube. Therefore a vacuum is actually a description of very low pressure.

What is weather like near isobars?

There is no specific "weather" description near isobars. Isobars are simply lines joining points of similar atmospheric pressure to indicate current and project future weather patterns related to pressure and therefore wind (movement of high pressure to low pressure). Therefore, a combination of the pressure the Isobar is indicating combined with other factors will determine the actual weather at that location.
