Answer:

Increase

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.
