The pressure exerted by the gas in the tank would increase.
Explanation: the tank is rigid and sealed so V and n are constant. By the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), increasing T raises P. The number of particles and their sizes don't change; their average kinetic energy (speed) increases, but density (mass/volume) stays the same.
