If the pressure of a confined liquid is tripled while the temperature remains constant, how will the volume be affected?

When considering the behavior of a confined liquid under changing pressure while keeping the temperature constant, it is important to reference the principles of incompressibility, which is characteristic of liquids. Liquids have much higher density compared to gases and are largely incompressible, meaning that their volume doesn't change significantly when subjected to changes in pressure.

According to Boyle's Law, for gases, pressure and volume are inversely related when temperature is constant. However, this law does not apply in the same way to liquids because their volume remains largely unchanged under differing pressures. When the pressure on a liquid is increased (in this case tripled), the liquid will not significantly compress like a gas would. Therefore, even with an increase in pressure, the volume remains essentially constant.

This principle is what leads to the conclusion that the volume of the confined liquid will remain the same when pressure is tripled at constant temperature.
