To increase the speed of the particles in an airtight container, the best option is:
**keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature.**
According to the ideal gas law and kinetic theory, increasing the temperature of the gas increases the average kinetic energy of the particles, which results in an increase in their speed.
**keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature.**
According to the ideal gas law and kinetic theory, increasing the temperature of the gas increases the average kinetic energy of the particles, which results in an increase in their speed.
