Answer 1

According to the ideal gas law, $PV=nRT$. If the volume $V$ is held constant and the temperature $T$ increases, the pressure $P$ must increase in order to maintain the equality. This is because $n$ (the number of moles of gas) and $R$ (the ideal gas constant) are also constants.

Thus, the correct response is:

It would increase.
