Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law) is an experimental gas law that describes how the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases. A modern statement of Boyle's law is:

"The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to thevolume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system." Wikipedia, Boyles Law
