If a volume of a gas (say, ambient atmospheric air) is reduced in a sealed container, to 1/2 of its original volume, doesn't it follow that the pressure would double?
Is this phenomenon linear in nature, all the way up to say, a 10:1 reduction in volume?
If it's NOT linear, why not? Would the rise in temperature due to compression have any effect on the pressure increase?
Thanks much for any information.
