The pressure exerted by the gas in the tank would increase.
Reason: In a rigid, sealed cylinder the number of particles (n) and volume (V) are constant, so raising temperature (T) increases the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules and thus the pressure (P = nRT/V). The number and size of particles and the gas density (mass/volume) do not increase.
