In a quantity of nitrogen (N), if the temperature remains constant, an increase in the volume means that its pressure will:
increase
decrease
remain the same

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
when T1 = T2
P1V1 = P2 V2
If V2 increases, P2 must decrease.
PS this is Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law, a principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas. According to this law, the pressure exerted by a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the volume of the gas. For example, if the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved. The rea
