If you change the temperature of a gas but keep the volume the same, how does the pressure change?

The temperature varies directly with the pressure; if one goes up, so does the other, and vice versa.

The following relationship best explains your inquire:
Pressure x Volume/ Temperature = constant
which means
Pressure = Temperature x (constant/Volume)
so if volume is also constant but temp increases, then pressure will rise accordingly
Coincidentally, this is called "Ideal Gas Law" !!!!!

The pressure gets higher with higher temperature because the molecules are moving more and knocking against the container.

Heating expands the gas so pressure increaes. Stuff that is cooled will lower the pressure because atoms will move slower and will not expand as much.

The pressure goes up or down proportional with temperature

If we cover the container, the pressure increases.

temp decreases = pressure decreases
and
vice versa
temp increases = pressure increases

You mean like an O2 tank in a bon fire?
