a) number of collisions per second will increase.
b) Number of collisions per second will decrease and so will the effectiveness of the collisions, so the answer is neither. Increased volume would mean a decrease in pressure andso less collisions will take place.
c) Number of collision per second will increase.
d) Number of collisions per second will increase and so will the effectiveness of the collisions, so the answer is both.
