Place a few hundred particles into the container. In the Hold Constant menu, select Volume. Use the bucket on the bottom to vary the temperature. Describe how pressure changes with temperature at constant volume. Is this consistent with the ideal gas law? Explain. simple short. 4th grade

When we put a few hundred particles in a container and keep the volume the same while changing the temperature, we can see how pressure changes.

As we heat the container, the particles move faster and bump into the walls more often. This makes the pressure inside the container increase.

This idea is consistent with the ideal gas law, which says that when the volume is constant and the temperature goes up, the pressure also goes up. So, the hotter it gets, the higher the pressure becomes!
