Step 1. Boyle's law is a statement about a fixed mass (fixed number of moles) of gas held at constant temperature.

Step 2. Under those conditions, the law states that volume varies inversely with pressure: V∝1PV\propto\dfrac{1}{P}, or equivalently PV=constantPV=\text{constant}.

Step 3. For two different pressure-volume states of the same gas sample at the same temperature, this gives the working form P1V1=P2V2P_1V_1=P_2V_2.

✓Final answer

V∝1PV\propto\dfrac{1}{P} (T, n constant), i.e. P1V1=P2V2P_1V_1=P_2V_2.
