    It increases by a factor of eight

    Explanation:

    When temperature is held constant, gas pressure changes according the volume, in undirectly proportion.

    Volume increases → Pressure decreases

    Volume decreases → Pressure increases

    As volume gas, was reducted from 4L to 0.5L, it was reduced by 1/8, so the pressure gas was increased by a factor of eight.
