A science student uses a syringe to investigate gas pressure. The nozzle of the syringe is sealed.

A diagram showing a sealed syringe with a plunger. Diagram X shows the syringe with a larger gas volume, where the air particles inside are spread out. Diagram Y shows the plunger pushed further in, creating a smaller volume, with the same number of air particles crowded into a smaller space.

State what happens to the average distance between the gas particles when the plunger is pushed in to decrease the volume, as shown in Diagram Y.
