Answer:

An increase in pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The ideal gas law states that:


pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

in the equation, n and R are constant. For a gas kept at constant volume, V is constant as well. Therefore, from the formula we see that if the temperature (T) is increase, the pressure (p) must increase as well.
