Answer

V1 = Initial volume of the gas = 800 cm3
P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = P
P2 = Final pressure of the gas = 3P
V2 = Final volume of the gas = ?

By Boyle's Law:

P1V1=P2V2\text{P}1 \text{V}1 = \text{P}2 \text{V}2

Substituting the values :

P×800=V2×3PV2=13×800\text{P} \times 800 = \text{V}2 \times 3\text{P} \\[0.5em] \text{V}2 = \dfrac{1}{3} \times 800 \\[0.5em]

∴ Final volume is one-third of initial volume.
