Answer:
<u>It increases by a factor of four</u>
Explanation:
Boyle's Law : At constant temperature , the volume of fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
pV = K.......(1)
pV = constant
Charles law : The volume of the gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure.
V = KT
or V/T = K = constant ....(2)
Applying equation (1) and (2)
According to question ,
T2 = 4 (T1)
V2 = V1
Put the value of T2 and V2 , The P2 can be calculated,
V1 and V1 cancel each other
T1 and T1 cancel each other
We get,
or
P2 = 4 P1
So pressure increased by the factor of four
