Throwing a can of aerosol hairspray into a fire is dangerous because the pressure inside the can increases as it heats up, potentially causing it to explode. This is not directly related to gas laws, but rather the rapid increase in pressure from the expanding gas inside the can. Additionally, aerosol cans contain flammable propellants that can ignite and create a fireball when exposed to flames.
