According to Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when the temperature is held constant, if you double the volume of a gas in a closed container while keeping the temperature constant, the pressure of the gas will decrease by half. This is because as the volume of the gas increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in order to maintain the balance between the two variables.
