Boyle's Law.
This law states "The volume of a gas is inversley proportional to the pressure applied to that gas - providing temperature remains the same"
Thus, decrease the pressure to half - the INVERSE is to doubble the volume.
Good old"Boyle's Law" strikes again.

The volume will be increased by one half of the pressure applied.

Pv=nrt where p=pressure, v=volume, n=number of moles of the gas, r=constant, t=temperature. For this question, n,r,t will remain constant.

PV = nRT
that's the general equation, but in this case use-
PV(initial) = PV(final)
p and v stand for pressure and volume, respectively
