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

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

This statement contradicts Boyle's law, which is a part of the ideal gas law. According to Boyle's law, if the temperature of a gas is held constant (isothermal condition), an increase in volume will result in a decrease in pressure.
