When gas in a container expand to twice its volume at constant temperature the gas pressure does what?

The pressure increases. Hopefully, the container is strong enough to withstand the increased pressure. If there is a weakness in the container, gas will escape as a leak.

Do gases expand in heat?
Yes. If the temperature increases, the gas expands (assuming the pressure remains constant).
When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?
No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.
Why does vapor pressure increase with an increase in temperature?
PV=nRT where P=pressure, V=volume, n=no. of moles, R=gas constant, T=temperature(K) since volume and the number of moles remain constant, they can be ignored and we can assume:- that P is proportional to T and thus if temperature is increased, pressure will also increase.
Can the volume of air change?
Yes, the volume of any gas can shrink or expand to fit into its container. If you want to increase the volume of a gas, you can decrease pressure and/or increase the temperature of the gas.
Does a gas fill any volume it occupies?
Gases do not have very specific shapes they take whatever shape surrounds them. Gas in a cubic container will take the same cubic shape as that container. Same for any shape. In the absence of gravity, a gas will expand to fill the space of any empty volume at constant pressure. If the temperature is uniform, it will be at uniform density at all points.
A gas with a volume of 4.00 L at a pressure of 205 kPa is allowed to expand to a volume of 12.0 L. What is the pressure in the container if the temperature remains constant?
The pressure is 68,3 kPa.
Does the temperature of a gas decrease when the volume increases?
Yes, if the gas is not in a closed container it will expand when the temperature is increased. If it is in a closed container, it cannot expand, so the pressure inside the container will increase.
Why does the pressure exerted by a gas at constant temperature decrease when the volume of the gas is increased?
Greater pressure on a gas will compact the gas into a smaller volume. If the compressed gas is then warmed, it will try to expand, and the pressure the gas exerts on the container will increase. If the pressure becomes greater than the container can hold, the container will explode or split and the excess gas pressure released.
Do gases expand in heat?
Yes. If the temperature increases, the gas expands (assuming the pressure remains constant).
What will happen to the pressure of gas in a container if the temperature increases?
The gas is likely to expand and raise the pressure inside the can. Should the pressure become too great the can will burst.

Why Heating a gas in a closed container will increase its pressure?
The gas molecules gain energy from the heat and so they speed up, causing the pressure to increase.

Is it possible for a balloon with an initial pressure of 200.0kPa to naturally expand four times its initial volume when the temperature remains constant and atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa?

Why liquids exert pressure on the walls of a container?
To expand
What would result from increasing the temperature of a gas in a container that cannot expand would it explode or stay solitary?
Either the container would explode or the pressure would just keep increasing until the temperature stopped increasing
