According to Boyle's law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature remains constant. This means that when the pressure increases, the volume decreases, and vice versa.
If the pressure is quadrupled (increased by a factor of 4), the volume will decrease by a factor of 4 as well. In other words, if the initial volume was V, it will become V/4 when the pressure is quadrupled.
How did quadrupling the pressure change the gas volume?
