Check out Charles' Law.

Or just observe the relationships from the Ideal Gas Law.
PV = nRT.
If T increases, what is needed to balance out the equation?

anonymous · Answer

Since one of your options involves 'k', I assume the version of the Ideal Gas Law you are using is PV=NkT. You are given that T increases.
First, determine which quantities must remain constant given that it is a closed container, i.e. it does not change in size and no material enters or leaves the container.
Second, see that if T increases, does the only remaining value that isn't constant have to go up or down to balance the equation?
