whats boyle's law? explanation.

law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.
hope it helps u........✌✌
Explanation:
Boyle's law states that the pressure of an ideal gas increases as its container volume decreases. Chemist and physicist Robert Boyle published the law in 1662.
The gas law is sometimes called Mariotte's law or the Boyle-Mariotte law because French physicist Edme Mariotte independently discovered the same law in 1679.
For a gas, the relationship between volume and pressure (at constant mass and temperature) can be expressed mathematically as follows.
P ∝ (1/V)
Where P is the pressure exerted by the gas and V is the volume occupied by it. This proportionality can be converted into an equation by adding a constant, k.
P = k*(1/V) ⇒ PV = k
