Increase the pressure (at constant volume) or increase the volume (at constant pressure), or do both at the same time. This is based on the Ideal Gas Law, which says PV = nRT. You can also just apply heat to it!

Increasing the energy input to the substance, such as by adding heat or light, would increase its temperature. Additionally, reducing the substance's ability to dissipate heat, such as by insulating it, can also lead to a rise in temperature.
Work increases the temperature of a substance because of friction (think of rubbing your hands together) or because of simple touch. You can transfer heat by touch (conduction) which is what you could do by doing work. Think of an ice cube being pushed by a burning metal rod, the heat would be transferred from the rod to the ice cube.
The temperature of the substance would increase as the average energy of particle motion increases. Additionally, the pressure exerted by the particles on the walls of the container would also increase.
A graph showing the change in temperature of a substance as it is heated will typically show an initial increase in temperature as heat is added, followed by a plateau where the substance changes phase (e.g., from solid to liquid), and then another increase in temperature. The specific shape of the graph will depend on the properties of the substance being heated.
When temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles in a substance increases, causing them to move faster and spread out. This increased movement results in greater separation between particles, leading to an expansion of the substance and an increase in volume.
The increase in volume that results from an increase in temperature is called thermal expansion. This occurs because temperature changes cause the particles in a substance to move faster and spread out, leading to an increase in volume.
The increase in volume of a substance due to an increase in temperature is called thermal expansion. This occurs because as the temperature of a substance rises, the particles within it gain energy and move more, causing them to spread out and increase in volume.
