Answer: will be five times higher

If 4 moles of gas are added to a container that already holds 1 mole of gas, the pressure inside the container

will be five times higher due to the change in the amount of gas.

Explanation:

4 moles of gas + 1 mole of gas = 5 moles of gas.

Also, the ideal gas equation pV = nRT

show that pressure is directly proportional to number of moles; so, if 1 mole of gas contains molecules that move randomly and freely under pressure inside the container; addition of 4 extra moles will sum up to 5moles of gas molecules moving randomly under pressure, and that is five times higher as well.
