According to Boyle's Gas Law, the product of the pressure and volume of an ideal gas is a constant.
Therefore, P1V1 = P2V2
Here, P1 = 5 psi, V1 = 20 cubic inches, P2 = 10 psi.
Putting into the equation,
5*20 = 10*?
Answer is 10 cubic inches - B in the list of choices.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "B". This is a math question.
You should ask this in "Physics". A piece of advice for next time.
