    The no. of moles will be doubled as the pressure is doubled.

    Explanation:

    We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

    where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

    V is the volume of the gas in L.

    n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

    R is the general gas constant,

    T is the temperature of the gas in K.

    If V and T are constant, and have different values of P and n:

    (P₁n₂) = (P₂n₁).

    P₂ = 2P₁,

    ∴ n₂ = (P₂n₁) / (P₁) = (2P₁n₁) / (P₁) = 2n₁.

    So, the no. of moles will be doubled as the pressure is doubled.
