How does surface area affect pressure, since pressure is defined by \frac{Force}{Area}, and specifically how does this work with the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT)? I would think that surface area and pressure have an inverse relationship, as to pressure and volume. But what if you had gas-filled containers with the same volume but different internal surface areas? I would think that the pressure in the one with less surface area would be less, but this is not evidenced by the ideal gas law.
