Answer:

The pressure increases

Explanation:

In this action it is best to apply Boyle's law to resolve the problem. This is an interplay between Volume, Pressure and Temperature.

  • According to Boyle's Law "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely  as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".
  • Since the volume is being reduced to cram into the container, the pressure of the gases increases.
  • In the smaller container, pressure rises and the volume reduces if temperature remains constant.
