The correct response is: Heated gases will increase in kinetic energy and decrease in density.

When gases are heated, their molecules gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and spread apart. As a result, the density of the gas decreases, causing it to rise within a container since less dense substances tend to float above denser substances.
