If we have a gas in a container with a certain temperature, we have some movement of the particles, but when we increase the temperature, these particles will start to move even faster, which is the basic definition of temperature, therefore with the increase of temperature, we will also have the increase of pressure, because the particles are moving in a higher speed and colliding with the container even more
