<Li> P denotes the pressure of the system . </Li> <Li> V denotes the volume of the gas . </Li> <Li> k is a constant value representative of the temperature and volume of the system . </Li> <P> So long as temperature remains constant the same amount of energy given to the system persists throughout its operation and therefore, theoretically, the value of k will remain constant . However, due to the derivation of pressure as perpendicular applied force and the probabilistic likelihood of collisions with other particles through collision theory, the application of force to a surface may not be infinitely constant for such values of v, but will have a limit when differentiating such values over a given time . Forcing the volume V of the fixed quantity of gas to increase, keeping the gas at the initially measured temperature, the pressure p must decrease proportionally . Conversely, reducing the volume of the gas increases the pressure . Boyle's law is used to predict the result of introducing a change, in volume and pressure only, to the initial state of a fixed quantity of gas . </P>
