pressure-volume diagram
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_volume_diagram
A pressure volume diagram (or PV diagram, or volume-pressure loop)[1] is used to describe corresponding changes in volume and pressure in a system. They are commonly used in thermodynamics, cardiovascular physiology, and respiratory physiology.

If it is a graph, then diagram would be right. If it is about the line on the graph or a general discussion of the properties, then characteristics would fit:
