Why does decreasing the volume of a gas increase its pressure at constant temperature (Pressure in gases (physics only))

The correct answer is Particles collide more often with the walls.

Definition lens: Give the precise definition, then add a context sentence that shows how it is used. This question asks: Why does decreasing the volume of a gas increase its pressure at constant temperature (Pressure in gases (physics only)). The correct response is Particles collide more often with the walls, because density links mass and volume, so the answer must preserve which quantity is being calculated. In Pressure in gases (physics only), the marking point should connect directly to (Physics only) Explain why decreasing the volume of a gas at constant temperature increases its pressure. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Particle model and pressure, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 522 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the definition lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
