Shortage of output, the price level must rise. Surplus of output, the price level must fall. Price level rises, output stays the same. Price level falls, output stays the same. Price level falls, output increases.
Price level rises, output falls.

In terms of a Production Possibilities Curve, the flexible price assumption implies that the economy is always on the frontier. Recall that when on the frontier, you have to give up some of one good to get more of another.
