The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume is 3 atm.

According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas:

P ∝ 1/V

For the given question required equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure = 1.5 atm

V₁ = initial volume = 2 L

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₂ = final volume = 1 L

On putting all these values on the above equation, we get

P₂ = (1.5)(2) / (1) = 3atm

Hence required pressure is 3 atm.
