Pv=mRT
The volume is the same - the volume is a function of the cylinder.

The volume decreases as gas is compressed, pressure increases.

In physical chemistry it says PV = constant provided T is constant. Hence, when gas is compressed, it pressure increases but the volume will decrease. However, your question also refers to 'in a cylinder' which i thk V is constant, then P/T = constant, pressure increases and temperature will also increase.

By definition, compressing anything means "squeezing" it. Whether a gas, a liquid, or even diamond, it's volume must decrease when squeezed: nothing is totally incompressible... with the possible, _temporary_, exception of explosives.

, As you compress a gas, its volume decreases and temperature and pressure increase. .
