Particle model — practice question

A fixed mass of air occupies a volume of $150\ \text{cm}^3$ and is at a pressure of $120\ \text{kPa}$. The volume of the air is then altered to $100\ \text{cm}^3$. The temperature of the air stays constant. What is the air’s new pressure?

  • A$80\ \text{kPa}$
  • B$180\ \text{kPa}$
  • C$80\,000\ \text{kPa}$
  • D$180\,000\ \text{kPa}$
