A child sits on a partially filled balloon and decreases the volume by half. What happens to the pressure inside of the balloon?

If the amount of gas and its temperature stay about the same, Boyle’s law says pressure increases as volume decreases. When the balloon’s volume is reduced to half, the gas particles have less space and collide with the balloon’s inside more often, so the pressure increases. The correct choice is A) It increases.
