Verified
With all other factors remaining constant, how does the temperature of a gas shift when the pressure increases?
A) It remains constant.
B) It decreases.
C) It increases.
D) It increases or decreases, depending on how great the shift is.
Temperature Shift
A change in temperature, which can affect the rate, equilibrium, and outcomes of chemical reactions.
Pressure Increases
A condition where the force applied by a fluid per unit area within a physical system grows, influencing the system's behavior.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), if the pressure (P) of a gas increases while the volume (V) and the amount of gas (n) are held constant, the temperature (T) must increase to maintain the equality. This is because the pressure and temperature are directly proportional in this scenario.
