The amount of pressure on a container at 100 ° C is twice the pressure on the container at 50 ° C.

According to the Gay-Lussac's Law of combining volumes, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when volume and the amount of gas are held constant. However, this relationship requires that temperature is measured in Kelvin. Converting 100 °C to Kelvin gives 373 K, and 50 °C converts to 323 K. The ratio of the pressures (P2/P1) would not be exactly 2 based on these temperatures, indicating that the pressure at 100 °C is not exactly twice the pressure at 50 °C.
