Explanation:
The pressure law states that for a constant volume of gas in a sealed container the temperature of the gas is directly proportional to its pressure.
This can be easily understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.
This means that they have more collisions with each other and the sides of the container and their kitnetic energy will increase and hence the pressure is increased.
