If a gas is compressed from 4L to 1L and the temp. remains constant what happens to the pressure?

Use the Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT. If V went down to 1L, Pressure must go up to balance the change.

Pressure goes up. I don't know by how much. Is that what you were asking? Is the pressure...four times as much?
I don't remember this stuff. But I do know the pressure goes up.

The presure increases 4 fold. I'm not going to paste a long article into here trying tto get the best answer, but there's the answer to your question.

The p.s.i. should be four times as much as it was before the compression.

pressure * four is final pressure

P1V1=P2V2
P2=(P1V1)/V2
P2=(Xx4)/1
P2=4X
