Answer Details
When air in a syringe is compressed without a change in temperature, the pressure increases. When you compress air in a syringe, you are decreasing the volume of the syringe while keeping the temperature constant. According to Boyle's law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature, when the volume decreases, the pressure increases. Therefore, in this scenario, the increase in pressure is the expected outcome when compressing air in a syringe without a change in temperature. The other options mentioned (air liquefies, intermolecular space increases, and density decreases) are not applicable in this context.
