  • A Remains constant
  • B Increases by a factor of 4
  • C Increases by a factor of 3
  • D Decreases by a factor of 4
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
\(\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\)
V1 = 2V2 and T2 = 2T1
\(\frac{P_1\times 2V_2}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{P_2\times V_2}{2T_1}\)
P2 = 4P1
