Best Answer

By heating the gas, you are adding energy to the particles, and as a result, they will move faster and with more force. If the gas does not have room to expand (set volume), then the pressure will increase because temperature and pressure vary directly. But when there isn't a set volume, the particles will bounce off each other (with more force) and get further apart from each other.
