Effect of Volume Increase on Gas Pressure

Easy General Chemistry Gas Phase

Consider a container filled with an ideal gas at room temperature. According to the ideal gas law, the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), the number of moles (n), and temperature (T) is given by the equation:

PV = nRT

Where R is the ideal gas constant. If the volume of the gas is doubled while keeping the temperature constant, what will happen to the pressure of the gas in the container?
