The relationship you are referring to is known as Boyles' law - pressure and volume are inversely related. That is, as pressure goes up, force is exerted on the gas and volume goes down. The actual "amount" of gas remains the same.

The fundamental rule is PV = nRT
where n is the number of moles (amount of gas) and R is constant. So pressure is proportional to temperature (in Kelvin!) and inversely proportional to volume.

PV=nRT
P-> Pressure
V-> Volume
n-> no. of moles of gas
T-> Temperature
