State how the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas can be increased at constant temperature

The pressure of a fixed mass of a gas can be increased at constant temperature by decreasing the volume in which the gas is contained. This can be achieved by compressing the gas using external force or by decreasing the size of the container. According to Boyle's Law, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature. So, by reducing the volume, the pressure of the gas will increase.
