A student seals the nozzle of a gas syringe containing air, as shown in the diagram under compression.

A diagram of a gas syringe with a sealed nozzle on the left and a movable plunger on the right. The plunger is pushed inwards, reducing the space inside the barrel. Inside this smaller volume, gas particles are shown as small circles crowded closely together.

State what happens to the pressure exerted by the gas on the inside walls of the syringe when the plunger is pushed in to reduce the volume of the gas (at a constant temperature).
