5. assuming the temperature is held constant, how could you increase the pressure inside a
container by a factor of 37

Decrease the volume or increase the number of moles by a factor of 37.

Explanation:

If the contents are a gas,

pV = nRT

If T is constant

There are two ways to increase the pressure inside the container.

1. Decrease the volume

If you decrease the volume by a factor of 37, the pressure will increase by the same factor.

2 Increase the number of moles

If you add 36 times the number of moles, you will have 37n moles. Increasing the amount of gas by a factor of 37 increases the pressure by the same factor.
