Solution
Boyle’s law is applicable for an isothermal process.
Explanation:
Boyle’s law: For a given mass of an ideal gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

So we can say that when the temperature is constant, Boyle’s law is applicable.
i.e., PV = nRT = constant
⇒ PV = constant ....(At constant temperature)
i.e., p ∝ 1/V— .....[where, P = pressure. V= volume]
So, this law is applicable to an isothermal process, in which temperature remains constant.
