When the temperature of a gas rises by a factor of 3, what should happen to the pressure of the gas, all other factors being constant?
A) It should rise by a factor of 3.
B) It should decrease by a factor of 3.
C) The pressure should remain unchanged.
D) Not enough information to tell.
Temperature Rises
An increase in the degree of heat present in a substance or environment, often measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Pressure
The force exerted per unit area on the surface of an object, often measured in pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm).
- Grasp the contributions of temperature, volume, and pressure to the behavior of gaseous states.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when the volume and the amount of gas are held constant. Therefore, if the temperature rises by a factor of 3, the pressure will also rise by a factor of 3.
