Answer:

According to Kinetic Molecular theory, Temperature is directly proportional to the Average Kinetic energy of a molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mass of the particles in a container is constant, then its moving molecules cause the gas gets warmer. On collision of molecules, Kinetic energy of molecules get high, so as a result, temperature gets high.

Fast moving of particles increases the temperature.
