State pressure-temperature relationship law (Gay-Lussac's law).

Solution
At constant volume, the pressure of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
Mathematically,
                         
straight P space proportional to space space straight T space left parenthesis at space constant space volume right parenthesis
or space space space space space straight P over straight T space equals constant.
In general, if P1 and P2 are the pressures at the absolute temperatures T1 and T2respectively, then       straight P subscript 1 over straight T subscript 1 space equals space straight P subscript 2 over straight T subscript 2
 
 or space space space straight P subscript 1 over straight P subscript 2 space equals space straight T subscript 1 over straight T subscript 2
