According to Boyle's Law, which states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume (P1V1 = P2V2), if the pressure of a gas decreases to half its original value, the volume will increase to twice its original value.
Therefore, the correct response is:
The volume increases to twice its original value.
