We study free particles in a one-dimensional box with combinations of two types of boundary conditions: the Dirichlet condition and a one-parameter family of quasi-Neumann conditions at the two walls. We approximately calculate energy spectra and obtain equations of state having the same (one-dimensional) volume dependence as van der Waals equations of state. The dependence of the equations of state is examined for particles obeying Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, or Fermi-Dirac statistics. Our results suggest that the deviation from ideal gas may also be realized as finite size effects owing to the interaction between the particles and walls.
