Does the pressure increase? Pressure decrease? Volume increase?

I'm thinking it is that the pressure decreases

  1. u r right  


  2. It gets cooler, so its vapor pressure decreases. The gas may even liquify.

  3. No the frequency of molecular collisions is slowing since the gas is cooling so the pressure is decreasing and volume is now obviously out of the question. Pick the PV = nRT answer that was an excellent description.

    From your title I would also poke to say that the gas could liquefy based on its properties and temp reached
