Changing gas pressure

Description

This video explains how gas pressure changes as volume changes. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional. That means if the volume of a gas doubles, its pressure halves for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature. This can be represented by the equation Pressure (p) times Volume (v) equals constant.
