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

Responses

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.

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

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

This observation is incorrect because, according to Boyle's Law (which is part of the ideal gas law), if the temperature is constant, an increase in volume should lead to a decrease in pressure, not an increase.
