This is possible because gases have the physical property of elasticity, due to the fact that there are relatively large spaces between the molecules of gases.
No liquid can be made smaller, liquids have the property of a definite volume (size), this cant be changed.
The pressure increases if the container gets smaller or the gas heats up. The pressure decreases if the container gets bigger or the gas cools off.
Options: -- Force more gas into the same container. -- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container. -- Heat the gas.

Because the gas hasn't not a form and can be compressed or expanded.
Consider your bicycle pump. When we decrease the volume in the pump by pushing the plunger, the volume of the gas (air) gets smaller.
Yes. Any sample of gas in a closed container will exert pressure on the container, as long as the temperature of the gas is above absolute zero. You can force the gas into a smaller volume by shrinking the container, but that action raises the temperature and pressure of the gas.
The word you're looking for is..... 'compress'
If you don't change the amount of gas, but you just stuff itinto a smaller container, then the density must increase.Remember the definition of density:Density = mass/volume .Since the volume in the smaller container is less, the value ofthat fraction must be greater ==> greater density.
Yes it is, Just squeezed lemons.
PV=nRT would suggest that the pressure would increase
