Assuming that the temperature remains constant. How can you increase the pressure of a gas?
A
Decrease the container volume
B
Increase the container volume
C
Add more molecules of the gas
D
Decrease the molecules of the gas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Decrease the volume of the gas. This is the ā€œVā€ in the equation. By their very nature, gases can be compressed, so if the same gas can be put into a smaller container, it will exert a higher pressure. The gas molecules will be forced closer to each other, increasing collisions (force) and pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The reduction in the volume of the gas means that the molecules are striking the walls more often increasing the pressure, and conversely if the volume increases the distance the molecules must travel to strike the walls increases and they hit the walls less often thus decreasing the pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since on increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature, the molecules come closer to each other which means that the gas form will convert into liquid form and on further increasing the condition it will convert into a solid form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decreasing the volume of a contained gas will increase its pressure, and increasing its volume will decrease its pressure. In fact, if the volume increases by a certain factor, the pressure decreases by the same factor, and vice versa.
