If the volume is reduced, and all else remains the same, then the pressure will increase by a factor of 2, or it will double.
A piston cylinder process actually includes two processes. The gas inside the piston undergoes both the constant pressure process and the contant volume process.
That all depends on the type of gas and volume given for the problem. We can't determine the mass and density of the gas cylinder if we are not given these info, which can also include pressure (because density varies based on that variable).
The equation is P1V1=P2V2. (P1 is pressure before the change, P2 is the pressure after, V1 is the volume before the change, and V2 is the volume after it.) So to solve it, it would be the same change no matter how much the volume and pressure were to begin with. The values are P1= 1 atmosphere (the pressure of air at sea level) V1= 1 Liter which would mean P2=3 atmospheres 1*1=3(V2) 1/3 Liter= V2. So the volume would be one third of what it was before the pressure was tripled.
