Obviously the temperature of air will increase. Because when you compress the air
you are doing some work on the air which in turn is converted into heat and thus increase the temperature of compressed air

When a volume of air is compressed its temperature does it increase or decrease or neither?
There is a thing called the "heat of compression" which causes all compressed substances to increase in temperature.
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
What happens when air is compressed?
When air particles are compressed, the density is increased. There is more pressure within a region or within a container. There are more molecules in a given volume, and this can cause the air to heat up. - The pressure of the air increases, as does its temperature, as its volume decreases.
What happened to the pressure when air was compressed?
When air is compressed at the same temperate and volume space, pressure will increase in accordance with Boyle's Law which states: PV/T (initial) = PV/T (final) where P is pressure, V is volume and T is temperature.
While a balloon is being filled if the temperature of the air in the balloon decreases what happens to its volume?
volume decreases considering the pressure is constant
What happens when air gets compressed?
Air warms up when it gets compressed. The equation is PV = NrT where P is pressure, V is volume, N is a number of molecules, r is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
Air in a cylinder is compressed to one-twentyfifth its original volume with no change in temperature?
It can be done.
What happens to air when air compresses?
When air is compressed temperature increases because of the collission and vibration of molecules

What happens to volume when air temperature increases?
If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.

What happens when air is compressed from 1cubic meter of air to 0.5 cubic meter?
The quotient of (its absolute temperature)/(its pressure) decreases by half.
Describe what happens to air temperature when work is done on the air to compress it?
Yes. As the molecules become closer, the collisions increase, increasing temperature.
When volume increases what happens to temperature?
If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.
Is it possible for an air mass to change in temperature if no heat is added or subtracted?
Not only possible but a certainty that it will change in temperature.
