I think you meant what happens to the gas particles when the temperature decreases. If the volume of gas is constant(eg in a fixed container), the pressure of the gas will decrease. If the gas is in a container with a variable volume(eg. balloon), the volume of gas will decrease.

If the gas has a constant volume then the pressure dereases. (Gay-Lussacs Law)
If the gas is under constant pressure then the volume will decrease. (Charles's Law)
Ulimately as kinetic energy decreases (root mean square) the ability of the gas particles to overcome intermolecular attractive forces will decrease and a phase change may occur.

What will cause a a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Either decrease the amount of gas, or decrease the temperature.
Does temperature of a gas increase or decrease under pressure?
If a gas is pressurised then the temperature will increase.
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in a closed container?
A loss of gas, or a decrease in temperature.
What happened to the pressure and temperature when you increased the volume of the gas?
Pressure and temperature will decrease
What will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed containe?
A reduction in the temperature of the container.
What happens when greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere decrease?
Green house effect causesthe temperature. temperature will decrease if gas levels down.
What happens when adiabatic expansion of gas molecules occurs?
The temperature of the gas decrease.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if the temperature of the gas is decreased?
the pressure will also decrease
What happens to viscosity in a gas when cooled?
The viscosity increase when the temperature decrease.
What happens to the pressure of a gas inside of a container if the temperature of the gas decreases?
The pressure of the gas would also decrease.
What happens when a given amount of gas at a constant temperature increases in volume?
In this case the pressure decrease.
What happens when a given amount of gas at a constant temperature increases volume?
In this case the pressure decrease.
What happens when the pressure of the gas is lowered?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
What happens when the pressure of a gas lowering?
The molecules collide less frequently, which normally coincides with a decrease in temperature.
If the temperature of that gas that is in t he container is decreased what happens to its pressure?
If the volume stays the same, the pressure will decrease.
What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What happens to a gas temperature at a given pressure?
In a closed system with constant pressure and no input or output of heat, the gas temperature will remain constant. In that same system, if the pressure is increased, then the gas temperature will also increase. If pressure is decreased, then the gas temperature will decrease.
