    The pressure of the gas would increase.

    Explanation:

    Using the ideal gas formulae we can evaluate this fact;

    P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

    We can assume that the volume is reduced by half (the T₁ and T₂ will cancel out because they remain constant);

    P₁V₁ = P₂ * 0.5V₁

    P₁V₁/0.5V₁ = P₂

    P₁/0.5 = P₂

    You can observe that the pressure will also increase - diving a number by a fraction or decimal number increases the resultant value. In this case, the pressure will increase by 2 fold
