They are packed into a smaller and smaller volume. Thus they become more dense and the pressure of the container that they are in rises.
PV = nRT
It is possible to compress gas enough to make a liquid. A propane tank has liquid in it but when it is released it is a gas. That is why it is called CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)

What happens to the volume of gas when pressure doubles?
The volume is halved
What happens when the pressure of gas is decreased?
volume increases
What happens when the pressure of a gas is decreased?
volume increases
If the number of moles of gas decrease what happens to the volume?
According to Avogadro's Law, the number of moles is proportional to the volume. Therefore, if the number of moles of gas decreases, the volume also decreases.
What happens when a liquid becomes a gas (apex)?
It changes shape and volume.
What can be squashed into a small space is it liquid solid or gas?
A gas. It has no definite volume or shape.
What happens to the volume of gas when pressure doubles?
The volume is halved
What happens to the volume of a gas when the pressure double?
the volume doubles
What happens to a volume of a gas when the pressure doubles?
the volume doubles
What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure increased?
Volume decrease.
What happens to the volume of gas when the number of moles doubles?

What happens to the volume of a gas when the number of moles double?
the volume doubles
What happens to the volume of a gas when the number of moles doubles?
the volume doubles
What happens to a gas when the temperature of the gas is increased?
The volume increases Source:
What happens to its volume when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure?
The volume increases.
What happens in the volume of a gas at constant temperature when the pressure is increased?
The volume decreases, in accordance to Boyle's Gas Law.
What happens to the volume of gas when you double the number of moles of gas while keeping the temperature the same?
The volume is doubled.
