Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor 8

Explanation:

For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where

p_1 is the initial pressure

p_2 is the final pressure

V_1 is the initial volume

V_2 is the final volume

For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from

V_1 = 4 L

to

V_2 = 0.5 L

so we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{4 L}{0.5 L}=8

this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.
