The answer to this question lies in the ideal gas law: PV=nrT
in which:
P = presssure
V = Volume
n = number of moles
r = ideal gas constant
T = temperature
because we want P to increase, we can achieve that in a couple of ways:
1. decrease the volume
2. increase the number of moles
3. increase the temperature.
Value of r cannot change; it is a constant.

Increase the pressure of a gas by?
Both compressing and heating a gas will increase its pressure.
What would heating a glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
What gas law describes when adding gas to a balloon will cause the volume to decrease?
The volume decrease only when the external pressure increase.
Is a gas's solubility faster in a high pressure liquid?
If the pressure of the gas increase, the solubility in a liquid increase.
How does the decreasing the gas volume affect the pressure of a gas?
The pressure increase.
What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?
An increase in temperature or a decrease in volume would call the pressure to increase. Apex- increasing the number of gas particles
Which of the changes would not cause an increase in the pressure of a contained gas?
The volume of the container is increased.
What would cause the pressure in a sealed container of gas to increase?
temperature increase The pressure of a contained sample of gas can be increased by increasing its temperature, or by decreasing its volume, or by injecting additional mass into it.
When the volume of gas decreases would the pressure increase or decrease?
It would increase.
Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?
it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.
What would heating a sealed glass jar do?
Increase the pressure of the gas inside
Would increase the pressure of a gas in a container?
The temperature
What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?
The pressure would increase.
Increase the pressure of a gas by?
Both compressing and heating a gas will increase its pressure.
How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?
If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.
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.
What effect does an increase in temperature have on a gas's volume and pressure?
As indicated by the Ideal Gas Laws, increasing temperature will tend to increase both volume and pressure. Of course, volume can't always increase, that depends upon the flexibility or inflexibility of the container that the gas is in, and if the volume does increase that will counteract the increase in pressure that would otherwise have happened. Temperature, pressure, and volume are all interconnected in a gas.
