Explanation:
During the process of inhalation, the lung volume expands as a result of the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles that are connected to the rib cage), thus expanding the thoracic cavity. Due to this increase in volume, the pressure is decreased, based on the principles of Boyle's Law.

Change in lungs volume during respiration:
The volume of lungs changes during respiration as when we breathe in the alveoli are filled with air due to which the lungs expand and their volume increases.Whereas, when we breath out the air is released from the alevoli due to which the lungs contract and their volume decreases.
