The correct response is B) doubled.
According to the ideal gas law, the pressure (P) of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (T) when volume (V) and the number of moles (n) are constant. Mathematically, this relationship can be expressed as:
P1/T1 = P2/T2
If the temperature is doubled (T2 = 2T1), then the pressure will also double (P2 = 2P1).
Suppose a sample of gas is trapped in a container that cannot change size. Now suppose the temperature of the gas is doubled. The pressure will be _________.
