Answer

Diagram $3$ represents the container after the decrease of the atmospheric pressure at constant temperature.

Work Step by Step

According to the Boyle's law, the gas volume is inversely related to the pressure (at constant temperature). Therefore, if the pressure decreases, the volume of the container will increase at the same rate. The diagram that represents the increase on the volume is : "$3$".
