The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the pressure of the gas?

At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (Gay-Lussac’s law). Increasing the temperature by a factor of four therefore increases the pressure by a factor of four. The correct choice is “It increases by a factor of four.”
