   As cans use liquidized gas under pressure   
   ( earlier freons, now propane+butane/isobutane mixture )   
   there is no way to properly apply ideal gas law.   
      
   Ideal gas can never become liquid,   
   as there is supposed no cohesive force between its molecules.   
      
   The pressure is determined by temperature,   
   growong exponentially, following exponential growth   
   of the partial pressure of the component vapours.
