The relationship between the pressure applied to a gas and the volume of the gas is inverse. An increase in pressure reduces the volume of the gas.
The relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature is described with the Boyle's Law:
"For a fixed mass of gas, at a
constant temperature, the product (pressure x volume) is a constant."
Pressure x Volume = constant
According to this, the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined
gas are inversely proportional, provided the temperature remains unchanged
within a closed system. So, if the pressure is increased than the
volume will be decreased.
