The adjustment that would increase the speed of the particles is:

keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature

When the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases, resulting in an increase in their speed. Keeping the pressure constant while increasing the temperature allows the particles to gain energy, leading to higher speeds.
