The correct statement that best describes the experiment is:

**The scientist is investigating Charles’s law, which shows that temperature and volume are directly proportional.**

This is because the gas particles moving faster indicates that the temperature is increasing, which causes the volume of the gas (and hence the balloon) to expand as per Charles's law.
