6 The volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant. The
pressure of the gas:
increased by a factor of 3
decreased by a factor of 3
increased by a factor of 4
decreased by a factor of 4

If the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, the  pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Boyle's law that says "The volume occupied by a given gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure." This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or

P * V = k

To obtain the proportionality factor k you must make the quotient:

k= 3

This means that if the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, the  pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.
