Answer 1

The chemist is most likely investigating Gay-Lussac’s law, by seeing how changes in temperature affect the pressure of the gas.

Gay-Lussac’s law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming the volume remains constant. Since the gas is in a sealed container (fixed volume), heating it would increase the pressure as the temperature rises.
