Boyle‘s law stats that the volume of a given mass of a gas, at a constant temperature is inversely proportional to us pressure.
Mathematically
V ∝ l/p, v = k/p (where k is constant)
K = VP
Let k = k1
Then, if k = k, V and P = V1P1
V1P1 = V2P2

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The simplest way to change the boiling point of a liquid is to change the surrounding pressure. (a) Using a closed system to artificially increase that pressure will raise the boiling point of a liquid. (b) Boiling point is dependent upon the strength of the bonds between its molecules. For this reason, adding a solute to the liquid will create stronger bonds between molecules, raising the solution’s boiling point without increasing pressure.
