That depends on the exact details.

For a gas, the ideal gas law is usually a good approximation: other things being equal, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (that is, the temperature expressed in kelvin).

For a liquid or gas, the expansion is much less than in a gas. You can look up the coefficient of expansion for a specific substance, and then use the definition of the coefficient; that is, the volume change is equal to (volume) times (temperature difference) x (coefficient of volume expansion).

What is the formula of Charles law?

An experimental gas law is the Charles Law. The formula used is original volume/original temperature= new volume/new temperature. The law describes expansion of gases with heat.


What can change the volume of a gas?

Change the pressure or change the temperature. Volume changes inversely with pressure and directly with temperature. That is to say, if you squeeze it, it gets smaller. If you heat it, it gets bigger.
