Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container holding the gas decreases.Which explains why this is a law rather than a theory?

A scientific law describes a consistent pattern or relationship observed in nature, such as pressure increasing when a gas’s volume decreases. A theory explains why or how a pattern occurs. Therefore, Boyle’s law is a statement of fact about the relationship, while choice B describes an explanation, which is what a theory provides.
