Boyle's law states that

PV\vert _{T}=k

where $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume and $k$ is a constant. This holds true for an ideal gas.

History

Boyle's law is attributed to both Robert Boyle and to Edme Mariotte. However, it seems that it was originally proposed by Henry Power in 1661 ^[1].
