If heat is constant, and if pressure increases on a liquid what will the volume do?
- Slowly increases.
- Remains constant.
- Slowly decreases.
Explanation from PART66Online
Liquids are very nearly incompressible, so applying greater pressure at constant temperature produces almost no change in volume. Unlike a gas, a liquid will not slowly compress or expand noticeably under ordinary pressure increases, so its volume effectively remains constant.

Liquids are considered incompressible, therefore their volume remains constant.
