    Initial volume of the gas (V1) = 10 inches^3

    Initial pressure (P1) = 5 psi

    Final pressure after compression of the gas (P1) = 10 psi

    Let us assume the final volume of the gas (V2) = x

    According to Boyle's Gas law, the pressure and volume of a gas remains constant under ideal condition. Then

    P1V1 = P2V2

    5 * 10 = 10 * x

    50 = 10x

    x = 50/10

    = 5 cubic inches

    So the volume of the gas after it was compressed was 5 cubic inches. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
