The correct answer is **B. The temperature will rise at the same rate with the increase in pressure.**
According to the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT), if the volume (V) is held constant and the amount of gas (n) is also constant, any increase in pressure (P) will result in a proportional increase in temperature (T) as measured in Kelvin, since R (the ideal gas constant) is a constant. Thus, when pressure increases, temperature also increases in a direct relationship.
