Answer

The ideal gas law is more accurate, at low pressure and high temperature. This is because at low pressure and high temperature the gas particles do not interact greatly and the distance between gas particles is large. Furthermore, at low pressure and high temperature the size of molecules can be neglected because it is minimal when compared to the container size.
