According to the ideal gas law \( PV = nRT \), if the volume (\( V \)) is held constant and the temperature (\( T \)) increases, the pressure (\( P \)) must also increase. This is because pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume is constant.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
It would increase.
