### Explanation of the Figure:

**Graph Description:**

- **Axes:**
  - The x-axis represents volume (\( V \)) in cubic centimeters (\( \text{cm}^3 \)).
  - The y-axis represents pressure (\( p \)) in kilopascals (\( \text{kPa} \)).

- **Data Points and Process Path:**
  - The process path is represented by two lines on the graph:
    1. Initial point \( i \) at approximately \( V = 300 \, \text{cm}^3 \) and \( p = 400 \, \text{kPa} \).
    2. Final point \( f \) at approximately \( V = 100 \, \text{cm}^3 \) and \( p = 400 \, \text{kPa} \).

- **Process Description:**
  - The graph shows a decrease in volume from \( 300 \, \text{cm}^3 \) to \( 100 \, \text{cm}^3 \) while maintaining a constant pressure of \( 400 \, \text{kPa} \).

This graph can be used to calculate the work done on the gas by determining the area under the process line on the pressure-volume diagram.
