Heavier. You are adding the miniscule weight of the air. If you added Helium it would become lighter.

Air pressure in an NBA Basketball can be measured using a pressure gauge designed for basketballs. The recommended range for an NBA basketball is typically between 7.5 and 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi) when measured with the gauge. It is important to check and adjust the air pressure regularly to ensure optimal performance.
there is a special gauge that they should sell at sporting goods stores and measure ball pressure
put in enough to make it bounce but not to much!!hope you like my help good luck with your basketball!! ;)
Yes, you are putting more matter (the air, which has mass) into the ball, so the ball and the enclosed air will weighmore.
Air pressure affects the bouncing of a basketball by inflating or deflating it. Higher air pressure makes a basketball bouncier, resulting in more bounces, while lower air pressure reduces the ball's bounce. The correct air pressure for a basketball is usually around 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi).
A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It measures the atmospheric pressure using air, mercury, or water and will be shown as inches of mercury or millibars.
A regulation basketball is inflated to a pressure of 7.5 to 8.5 pounds per square inch (psi), which is the standard air pressure for most basketballs.
The barometer is the instrument that is used to measure the air pressure.
No, milliliters are not used to measure air pressure. Air pressure is typically measured in units such as pascals, pounds per square inch (psi), or inches of mercury (inHg). Milliliters are a unit of volume used to measure liquids.
