Yes, if the gas is not in a closed container it will expand when the temperature is increased. If it is in a closed container, it cannot expand, so the pressure inside the container will increase.

In the Ideal Gas Law, PV/T = constant. At a constant pressure, the gas volume will vary linearly with the gas temperature. According to this, yes, the temperature of a gas decreases when the volume of that gas increases.

However the Ideal Gas Law is most accurate for high temperatures and low pressures.

Would the volume of a gas increase or decrease if the pressure on the gas increases?

According to the combined gas law, volume and pressure are indirectly related. Therefore, if the pressure of a gas increases, the volume will decrease.


When the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?

At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.
