An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas.

Answer:

Gas particles have a small volume relative to the spaces between them.

Explanation: There is a lot of empty space between the gas molecules which accounts in the final volume.
