You're probably better off taking the plant outside and throwing it into the compost: gnats and other bugs can be gotten rid of with a variety of insecticides or "soaps" for sale at any hardware or garden store, but compare the cost of that to the cost of a new plant. You want to avoid the gnats spreading inside, too, which is another good reason to be rid of the plant.
