An equation of state for an ideal gas with a small number of particles is
studied. The resulting equation is found to differ from that expected in
conventional thermodynamics, which is strikingly illustrated when considering
the traditional thermodynamic problem of Maxwell's demon. We clarify the
mechanism of this different feature of thermodynamics arising in small systems.
