Answer: at higher temperatures.
Justification:

1) Soda have CO₂ dissolved. Carbonation consists on that: dissolving CO₂ into water, leading to carbonated water.


2) The solution of a gas into a liquid is inversely related to the temperature: the lower the temperature the more gas gets dissolved.
So, in the manufacturing of soda, the CO₂ is added in cool water in a cool environment.


3) So, the higher the temperature after the soda is delivered, the more gas will be liberated when you open the can.
