Pressure vs volume
Formula
P ∝ nT / V
Pressure increases with temperature and particles, and also when volume decreases.
Try this
Increase pressure without adding more particles.
Try decreasing volume or increasing temperature to raise pressure.
Gas behavior
What happened?
Pressure rises when particles move faster or are squeezed into a smaller volume.
Why?
The simplified relationship here is pressure proportional to particles and temperature, and inversely proportional to volume.
