text: Because the answer to the equation can not change (that's why it is called a constant), we know that if we increase the pressure surrounding a gas (P), the volume of the gas (V) must get smaller.
text: So to put this law in simple terms: If the pressure surrounding a gas is increased; the volume of the gas will get smaller.
text: Conversely, if the pressure surrounding a gas is decreased, the volume of the gas will become greater.
text: This equation states that for a given gas—such as air in a scuba diver's buoyancy compensator device (BCD)—if you multiply the pressure surrounding gas by the volume of gas you will always end up with the same number.
text: Conversely, if we decrease the pressure surrounding gas, the volume of the gas will become greater.
