Explanation
The pressure of a gas can be expressed using the kinetic theory of gases as (d) 1/3ρ(v^2), where P is the pressure, ρ is the density, and v is the mean square speed of the gas molecules.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
