What will happen to the pressure of a confined gas if the temperature of the gas is increased?

In order to continue enjoying our site, we ask that you confirm your identity as a human. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The volume of the gas increases as the temperature increases.

As temperature increases, the molecules of the gas have more kinetic energy. They strike the surface of the container with more force.

If the container can expand, then the volume increases until the pressure returns to its original value.

Charles' Law summarizes this observation mathematically.

Hope this helps.
