Which observation is inconsistent with the ideal gas law?(1 point) Responses When volume is held constant and the temperature increases, the pressure increases. When volume is held constant and the temperature increases, the pressure increases. When pressure is held constant and volume increases, the temperature increases. When pressure is held constant and volume increases, the temperature 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 temperature is held constant and volume 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."

According to Boyle's Law, which is part of the ideal gas law, if the temperature is constant (isothermal conditions), then an increase in volume should result in a decrease in pressure, not an increase. Therefore, this statement contradicts the principles of the ideal gas law.
