As volume changes so does pressure. During the compression cycle of an engine, the volume is decreasing causing the pressure to increase. This happens so rapidly that I do not believe that temperature stays constant. For this to actually be following Boyle's law the temp is supposed to remain constant.

Not true. It applies to real gases that are exhibiting ideal behavior. Any gas that is not 'close' to its boiling and is at a 'low' pressure will behave like an ideal gas and Boyle's Law can be applied. Remember there is no such thing as an ideal gas, so when Boyle did his experiments and came up with his law he was using a real gas, probably just air.
A Boyle's law graph is typically shaped like a hyperbola, where pressure and volume are inversely related at a constant temperature. As pressure decreases, volume increases, and vice versa. The curve is symmetrical around the point where pressure and volume are equal.
This is Boyle's Law, which states that at constant temperature, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. Thus, when pressure increases, volume decreases.
Yes, this is the principle of the Boyle-Mariotte law. The equation is pV=k. Boyle established experimentally this law, Mariotte rediscovered the law and Newton offer a theoretical demonstration.
The Law of Applied Force states that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it.
