Did you mention that volume decreased as the pressure increased?

I don’t have the previous message you’re referring to, so I can’t say whether I explicitly mentioned it there. If you want the short answer now:

Yes — for an ideal gas at constant temperature, volume decreases as pressure increases (Boyle’s law): P1V1 = P2V2. In other words, pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature is held constant.

Caveats:
- This applies to gases under conditions where the ideal-gas approximation holds. Real gases deviate at high pressures and low temperatures.
- If temperature changes, use the combined gas law (P V / T = constant) instead.
- Liquids are nearly incompressible, so their volume changes are very small even with large pressure changes.

If you meant a specific earlier statement or document, tell me which one and I’ll correct or add that point for you.
