The particles of a gas inside a balloon are experiencing an increase in their average kinetic energy and the number of collisions with the wall of the balloon. What is the most likely outcome?
higher gas pressure inside the balloon
higher air pressure outside the balloon
a decrease in gas temperature inside the balloon
a large increase in air temperature outside the balloon

Higher gas pressure inside the balloon.

Reason: pressure comes from gas molecules colliding with the walls. Increasing their average kinetic energy and collision frequency raises the momentum transfer per unit time to the walls, so the internal pressure increases.
