Solution

The correct option is B
Inverse

When the temperature is constant, an increase in pressure results in a decrease in volume.
Hence, they are inversely related.
Now, they will be inversely proportional if PV = constant

Note: Boyle's law states that when the temperature is kept constant, PV = constant. Or in other words, Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.
