Because as more dollar bills are printed, they become worth less, thus increasing not only the value of gold but also the value of almost everything else. Think about coffee, coffee only costed like 1.50 cents for a pound in 1890 but to buy a pound of coffee now its like 10 times the price it was then.

If interest rates rise what will happen to the value of the dollar?

When US interest rates rise the dollar appreciates or rises in value. Because our interest rates are increasing, other countries are buying our capital which causes the demand from US dollars to increase and increases the exchange rate, meaning it takes more of another currency to buy an American dollar.
