a) The pressure in the container doubles.

b) The pressure in the container more than doubles.

c) The volume of the container doubles.

d) The volume of the container more than doubles.

e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.

    Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.

    Explanation:

    To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant
