A quantity of gas in a piston cylinder has a volume of 0.500 m^3 and a pressure of 200 Pa.
The piston compresses the gas to 0.150m^3 in an isothermal (constant temperature) process.
What is the final pressure of the gas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


Boyle's law  for such processes states that 


    pV = const,   or   p = const/V.


In your case, the constant is  0.5 * 200 = 100;

so and THEREFORE,


     = 100/0.150 = 666.67 Pa.    ANSWER

Solved.
