According to the ideal gas law \( PV = nRT \), when the volume (V) is held constant and the temperature (T) increases, the pressure (P) must increase in order to maintain the equation's balance. This is because pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume and the number of moles (n) remain constant.

Thus, the correct response is:

It would increase.
