There are two ways to answer each question below: reasoning from the model of kinetic theory and reasoning algebraically from the ideal gas law. Work through problems $1-4$ filling in the first column using kinetic theory first and then once you have finished, go back to the top and fill in the second column using the ideal gas law.

A pressure meter in the simulation$-$and in real life$-$measures how much the gas molecules are banging against the walls of the container. Think about what happens to the molecules and how they interact with the wall when the gas is being compressed at constant temperature. Do you think the pressure of the gas increases, decreases, or stays the same? $($Hint: does reducing the volume effect any of the "ingredients" of kinetic pressure?$)$ Run the simulation to check your answer.
