Eventually it will explode because the heat causes the gas particles inside the container to accelerate and thus, create pressure by colliding with each other and the sides of the container. This pressure --> boom.

What happens when gas and heat combine?

The gas particles will gain more kinetic energy and speed up. If they are in a closed container, the increased speed of the particles will make the particles hit the sides of the container more often, increasing the pressure inside of the container. On cursory inspection at the macroscopic level, the result is hot gas.
