Compressing gas with piston: reasons for temperature increase?

[QUOTE="mjc123, post: 6535432, member: 610180"] Boyle's law relates pressure and volume of a gas [B]at constant temperature[/B]. Gay-Lussac's law relates the pressure and temperature [B]at constant volume[/B]. You can't apply both of them at the same time. The ideal gas law generalises these laws (and Charles's law) to relate pressure, volume and temperature. Depending on the process, you can change any two of these properties while maintaining the third, or you can change all three at once. Thus it is not true to say, as a general rule, that reducing the volume increases the pressure [B]and [/B]increases the temperature. It may do, it may not. [/QUOTE]
