Answer:

Pressure will triple   (Boyle's Law)  

Explanation:

Assuming a constant temperature:  (compressing gases usually raises the temp significantly):

P1V1 = P2V2

P1V1 / V2   = P2      

   Now change V2  to 1/3 V2:

P1V1 / (1/3 V2 ) = P2 / (1/3 )

P1V1/ (1/3 v2 ) = 3 P2                <======= THE PRESSURE WILL TRIPLE

    This is Boyle's Law
