If the pressure of the gas increases in a container held at a constant volume, what is the most likely outcome for the temperature?(1 point)

Responses

The temperature will rise at the same rate with the increase in pressure.
The temperature will rise at the same rate with the increase in pressure.

The temperature will rise at half the rate of the pressure increase.
The temperature will rise at half the rate of the pressure increase.

The temperature will decline proportionally to the rate of pressure increase.
The temperature will decline proportionally to the rate of pressure increase.

The temperature will drop at half the rate of the pressure increase.

The correct response is:

The temperature will rise at the same rate with the increase in pressure.

This outcome is consistent with Gay-Lussac's law, which states that for a given amount of gas at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Thus, as pressure increases, temperature also increases.
