Answer
According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. Increasing the temperature causes the particles to move faster and strike the container walls more frequently and forcefully. When pressure is constant, the volume of the gas increases proportionally. Therefore, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (Charles' law).
