∙ 15y agoYou don't say by how much, so the only answer is that a decrease of pressure causes an increase in volume
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoA decrease in pressure would result in the increase in the volume of a gas provided that the temperature is constant.

-- Force more gas into the same container.
-- Force the same amount of gas into a smaller container.
-- Heat the gas.

Which of the following will increase the volume of a gas?
Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas (apex)
Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?
it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.
What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?
An increase in temperature or a decrease in volume would call the pressure to increase. Apex- increasing the number of gas particles
What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?
The pressure would increase.
Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?
According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.
Which of the following will increase the volume of a gas?
Decreasing the pressure applied to the gas (apex)
What would increase the pressure of gas in a container?
Any of the following: increasing the amount of gas; increasing the temperature; reducing the volume.
How do you increase the pressure of gas?
decreasing the volume available for the gas or increasing its temperature
When the volume of gas decreases would the pressure increase or decrease?
It would increase.
Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?
it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.
Would increase the pressure of a gas in a container?
The temperature
What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?

What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?
The pressure would increase.
Increase the pressure of a gas by?
Both compressing and heating a gas will increase its pressure.
How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?
If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.
Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?
According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.
What effect does an increase in temperature have on a gas's volume and pressure?
As indicated by the Ideal Gas Laws, increasing temperature will tend to increase both volume and pressure. Of course, volume can't always increase, that depends upon the flexibility or inflexibility of the container that the gas is in, and if the volume does increase that will counteract the increase in pressure that would otherwise have happened. Temperature, pressure, and volume are all interconnected in a gas.
