If you increase the temperature of a gas inside a container while keeping the pressure constant, you would expect the volume of the gas to **increase**. This is in accordance with Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant.

If the container is rigid and cannot expand, then the volume of the gas will **stay the same** while the pressure will increase instead.

So, the correct response would depend on whether the container can expand or not:
- **If the container can expand**: **increase**
- **If the container cannot expand**: **stay the same** (but pressure will increase)

Please clarify the context for the most accurate answer.
