The pressure exerted by the gas in the tank would increase.
Reason: in a rigid sealed tank the number of particles and the volume stay constant, so raising temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules and thus the pressure (PV = nRT). Density and particle count stay the same; particle "size" does not increase.
