According to the ideal gas law, \( PV = nRT \), if the volume (V) is held constant and the temperature (T) increases, the pressure (P) must increase as well. This is due to the direct relationship between pressure and temperature in the equation when the number of moles (n) and the gas constant (R) are constant.

So, the correct response is:

It would increase.
