The correct answer is:
isothermal process
Boyle's law is applicable at constant temperature and temperature remains constant in isothermal process.
For ideal gas, $p V=n R T=$ constant
So, $p V=$ constant (at constant temperature)
$$
p \propto \frac{1}{V}
$$
So, this process can be called as isothermal process.
