Compressing a gas means increasing the pressure on the gas and according to Boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a given amount of a gas(at constant temperature) . Therefore increasing the pressure (compression) of the gas reduces the volume of the gas.

Gas volume drops as pressure is increased while maintaining a fixed gas temperature. The compression process is what we're talking about here. Additionally, the process of expanding occurs when the gas's pressure is reduced and its volume is increased.

How does increasing the density of a gas affect air pressure?
The increase in pressure signifies the increase in the number of collisions of the gas atoms with its container, this can result from 2 factors (when temperature is constant): either there is gas added, or the volume of the container has been decreased. Thus the Density, which is mass (which can be equated to amount of gas) divided by volume, and increase in mass or decrease in volume will effectively increase the density of the gas.
How does the density of water affect its boiling point?
The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.
What decreases when gas pressure increases?
volume
What gas's percent of volume is 78.09?
nitrogen
The inverse relationship between pressure and volume is known as?
Charle's law of gases say that when pressure and amount of gas remains the same, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. So the higher the temperature, the larger the volume of the gas A more complete gas law, utilizing other gas laws as well, is the Ideal Gas Equation. It is written as PV = nRT where P is the pressure (usually in ATM) V is the volume (in Liters) n is the moles (amount) of gas R is the gas constant for the units in P , V, and T T is the temperature (usually in Kelvin)
What is one way of making a gas occupy a smaller volume?
compressing itCompressing it
Can 10 liters of oxygen gas go into a 1 liter volume?
Yes, by compressing the gas.
Can you cool a gas by increasing its volume?
Yes. It's how air conditioning and refrigeration works.
How does the change in temperature affect the volume of gas?
As the temperature of a gas increases, so does the volume.
Does gas have shape and will volume affect it?
Gas tends to take the shape of the volume it's in. If the volume is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will increase.
How does increasing the temperature of a gas within a gas tank affect its volume?
It affects pressure, not volume.
What happens to the volume of a gas when squashed?
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)
Does changing the temperature of a gas has no effect on the volume of the gas?
No, it does affect the volume of a gas according to the ideal gas law (PV=nRT).
How does the decreasing the gas volume affect the pressure of a gas?
The pressure increase.
Can gas be liquefied how?
by compressing it
How does pressure exerted on a gas affect its volume?
The volume decreases (smaller,less)
How does decreasing the volume affect the volume of gas?
If the temperature remains constant, decreasing the volume will increase the pressure.
