Answer 1

When the pressure of a gas decreases (assuming all other variables are held constant), the volume (V) of the gas will increase. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law, which states that pressure (P) and volume (V) of a gas are inversely related when temperature (T) and the amount of gas (n) are held constant.

So the correct response is:

V
