Heat causes a gas (like air) to expand. If the gas is in a closed container, the pressure will increase instead. Hot air also rises because it is lighter than cold air.

What cause the temp to decrease with height in the troposphere?

Heat from the sun (contrary to common opinion) heats the land and not the air. Some of the heat rises but even the best conductors of heat store some heat and the air stores some heat too so by the time you get really high up, very little heat reaches you thus the higher up you are, regardless of what layer of the atmosphere you are in, the colder things are.
