Boyle's law, or the Boyle-Mariotte law, is one of several gas laws and a special case of the ideal gas law. Boyle's law describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662. The law itself can be stated as follows: For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).

How are Boyles law and Charles law alike?

Boyles Law deals with conditions of constant temperature. Charles' Law deals with conditions of constant pressure. From the ideal gas law of PV = nRT, when temperature is constant (Boyles Law), this can be rearranged to P1V1 = P2V2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas). When pressure is constant, it can be rearranged to V1/T1 = V2/T2 (assuming constant number of moles of gas).
