Which observation is inconsistent with the ideal gas law?(1 point)

Responses

When pressure is held constant and volume increases, the temperature increases.
When pressure is held constant and volume increases, the temperature increases.

When temperature is held constant and volume increases, the pressure increases.
When temperature is held constant and volume increases, the pressure increases.

When nothing is held constant and pressure and volume both increase, the temperature increases.
When nothing is held constant and pressure and volume both increase, the temperature increases.

When volume is held constant and the temperature increases, the pressure increases.

The observation that is inconsistent with the ideal gas law is:

When temperature is held constant and volume increases, the pressure increases.

This statement contradicts the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), which states that if the temperature (T) is constant (the process is isothermal), an increase in volume (V) would lead to a decrease in pressure (P), not an increase.
