According to Boyle’s law, the pressure P of a compressed gas is inversely proportional to the volume V.

According to Boyle’s law, the pressure p of a compressed gas is inversely proportional to the volume V. Suppose that there is a pressure of 25 kPa when the volume of the gas is 400 cu. cm. Find the pressure when the gas is compressed to 200 cu. cm.

A. 60 kPa C. 40 kPa
B. 50 kPa D. 30 kPa
