For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.

Or,

Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.

Answer:

"The volume occupied by a certain gas mass at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure"

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's law says:

"The volume occupied by a certain gas mass at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure"

Then Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

Pressure * Volume = constant

or P * V = k

Then, this law indicates that as the volume increases, the particles (atoms or molecules) of the gas take longer to reach the walls of the container that contains it. Therefore they collide less times per unit of time against them. Since the pressure represents the frequency of gas shocks against the walls, the pressure will be lower.
