| Proceeding from the fact that the gas pressure is caused by the impact of molecules on the vessel wall, explain why the gas pressure increases with decreasing volume of the vessel?
As the volume decreases, the number of molecules per unit volume increases. As a result, the frequency of impacts of molecules against the vessel wall increases.
