What would happen to the pressure inside any enclosures on the moon as the sun hits the exterior and the temperature begins to rise?

There are a number of basic engineering elements that any competent engineer would take to compensate for these factors.
First would be sealed expansion joints built into the frame of the structure to compensate for thermal expansion. Just as, for example, terrestrial bridges expand and contract to allow for heating and cooling in temperate and arctic climates here.
Second would be a pressure regulating system designed to detect and compensate for air pressure changes, and to seal off any chamber experiencing a sudden drop in pressure.

Why doesn't the sun blow up like a hydrogen bomb?
There is a temperature-pressure equilibrium that needs to be maintained. As more reactions take place the heat forces the interior of the sun to expand against the force of gravity, which is what keeps the explosion from moving outward. However, as the interior expands, the temperature cools until it is no longer hot enough for subsequent reactions to occur, leading to a collapse (because the gravity has not changed). As it begins to collapse, pressure and temperature increase, leading to increased reactions. This repeats as an equilibrium. A hydrogen bomb does not have a secondary constraint on the explosion like uniform pressure from gravity, which allows it to consume all of its resources on an initial expansion.
What is an expanded star?
A star in a transitional phase where fusion is increasing causing an increase in the radiation pressure opposing gravitational contraction.
Explain why the sun will increase in size as it begins to burn off its fuel?
The ability of the sun to fuse hydrogen is dependent on a critical temperature and pressure. The only place that the sun is fusing is deep within its interior where the pressure is high enough. As nuclear fusing takes place the result is Helium gas, four times denser than Hydrogen. Being heavier the Helium collects in the sun's core. Also because it is denser it produces a greater gravitational field (gravity is dependent on mass) so the pressure inside the sun increases and the effective radius within which hydrogen fusion can now take place also increases. This means that the sun can fuse more hydrogen in the same amount of time so it gets hotter. And when things get hotter they expand.
What is the pressure in space?
It depends on what you mean by "outer space". One commonly accepted definition is that outer space begins at the Karman line, 100 km above sea level. At this height atmospheric pressure is about 1 Pa (pressure at sea level is about 101 kPa). Beyond that, scientists generally don't talk in terms of "pressure" but instead use mass density to describe how empty (or not) space is. The average mass density of the universe has been estimated at around 1 hydrogen atom per cubic meter. The pressure in outer space is so low that many consider it as non-existant. It has a pressure of 1.322 × 10-11 Pa. Pressure may be detected from the molecule of air or water hitting you. Since there is very little air and hardly ever water hitting you in space, pressure is almost zero or negligible.
Describe in general the structure and interior density pressure and temperature conditions of an average star such as the Sun?
The interior of an average star is modeled after the theoretical pressure, temperature, and density conditions that would be necessary to produce the observed energy and light from the surface. The interior can be described as (1) the core, (2) a radiation zone, and (3) the convection zone. The core is a dense and very hot region where the density fo the core is about 12 times that of solid lead. The radiation zone is less dense and energy in the form of gamma and x rays from the core is absorbed and reemitted by collisions with atoms in this zone. The convection zone begins about seven-tenths of the way to the surface, where the density of the gases is about 1% of the density of water. Gases at the bottom of this zone are heated by radiation from the radiation zone below, expand from heating, and rise to the surface by convection.
What happens to the temperature and pressure as you go deeper and deeper underground?
The deeper you go inside the ground the hotter it gets and the more pressure begins to build. So basicly they both increaese.
What is initial temperature?
This is the temperature at which an experiment begins.
What situations would cause air pressure to rise?
Air pressure begins to rise in a situation where there is a change in the temperature, especially when there is cold air hitting the ground. The rise in air pressure produces winds and different types of weather.
What is adew point?
The dew point is the atmospheric temperature from which water droplets begin to condense and dew begins to form. It can change depending on the pressure and humidity of the area.
When there is fog what happens when the temperature begins to fall?
When temperature begins to fall at this state the fog is converted into frost in which ice formation takes place.
Temperature at which condensation begins?
Dew Point
The temperature at which condensation begins?
Dew Point
Why the temperature of water should not change once it begins boiling?
Because that is the hottest temperature it can get.
What does your body do in response to the temperature increase?
If it's starting from normal temperature, it begins to sweat.
Ether at room temperature is placed in a flask connected by a rubber tube to a vacuum pump the pump is turned on and the ether begins to boil why?
Because the pressure of the atmosphere in the flask is lowered by the vacuum; a liquid will reach it's boiling point when the pressure of the atmosphere is equal to or less than the vapor pressure of the liquid.
What happen to blood pressure when arteries become block with fat?
your blood pressure begins to rise
What happens to an area's temperature when a cold front passes?
The pressure is always lowest at the frontal boundary, whether warm or cold. ______________________________________________________________________ The pressure would decrease since warm fronts are found at the front of low pressure systems. Pressure can also decrease at the warm and cold frontal boundaries just like the previous answer states, but can only increase when the cold front passes.
