Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely related - one goes up, another goes down.

The actual expression is P1V1=P2V2
Where P1 is pressure at the start
V1 is volume at the start
P2 is pressure at the end
and V2 is volume at the end.

One good example is breathing - we expand our chests to breathe. This increases volume within the chest. As volume goes up, pressure goes down.

With pressure lower, air flows in from the outside to equalize the pressure between the outside and our chests.

Air flows in? We breathe.

When we exhale, we squeeze our chests, DECREASING volume and therefore INCREASING pressure. This increased pressure forces air out of our chests and back into the world.

Boyle's Law applies to our every day life when we're inflating our gas tires, breathing in and filling our lungs, or blowing up a balloon.
I didn't get this info from any site, just personal knowledge.
