Why does a squeezed balloon push back harder? Boylina feels the pressure. Boyle’s law, P1V1 = P2V2, says that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, halving the volume doubles the pressure. Robert Boyle published it in 1662, and divers still plan around it. Pixel-art black ceramic mug in 11 or 15 oz; equation, symbols and sources in the physics panel below.

The physics

Boylina has a fixed amount of gas inside her, and squeezing her is a bad idea.

Robert Boyle published the law in 1662: for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, pressure times volume stays the same. Halve the volume and the pressure doubles. Edme Mariotte found the same relation independently in 1676.

SQUEEZE ME. I PUSH HARDER. The molecules have less room, so they hit each unit of wall more often. A bicycle pump gets harder to push as you compress the air in it. Divers plan around the same rule: as water pressure rises with depth, the air in their lungs and equipment is squeezed into a smaller volume, and it expands again on the way up.

Use absolute pressure, not a gauge reading, and keep the temperature steady. Real gases follow the law closely at ordinary pressures and drift from it when squeezed hard.

Boylina is not difficult. She simply keeps the product constant.
