Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure of a gas is given by the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, n is the amount of substance, and R is the ideal gas constant. Without knowing how the pressure changes specifically (increases, decreases, remains constant), we cannot determine the exact effect on temperature when the volume increases.
