Boyle's Gas Law

In 1662, Irish Chemist and physicist Robert Boyle studied the relationship between pressure P an the volume V of a gas in a container held at constant pressure.
Boyle observed that the product of the pressure and volume are nearly constant: P x V = C.
A balloon inflated at sea level will expand as it rises in the atmosphere and is subject to decreased pressure.
