    The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

    P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

    Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2

    P1V1 / T1 = P2V1 / 2 T2

    Cancelling terms,

    1/T1 = 1/2 T2

    T2 = T1/2

    Thus, the temperature decreased.
