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.

weqwewe [10]

The question doesn't describe any experiment.  If the same experiment is repeated, no matter how many times, the acceleration due to gravity will remain the same as it was during the non-existent original experiment, and will have no effect on anything.
