Propane is a liquid when pressurized a gas when not.
If both the filling container and the holding container are connected.
Assuming Both tanks are under normal pressure, the gas will be liquid in both tanks and all the normal laws of physics apply...ie you will need a pump to transfer or raise one tank.
It is possible to transfer propane from a full smaller tank to a empty larger one .... ..Id need a pencil and piece of paper to draw it out... but one uses the gas pressure to push the liquid out from the little one into the (zero pressure) empty big one until they equalize
A handy trick if you are doing a car airco too.. speeds up the fill
