PressureXvolume=number of molesX a constant X temperature
Pressure goes up on one side and it the number of moles on the other side is constant, then the only way to counter this is to have the temperature go up.

air is,like anything ells,made of molecules
heat is the measure of the "excitedness" of the molecules.when an object is compressed,their is less room fore the molecules to move,making the molecules more "excited",resulting in a increase in heat

The molecules of the compressed gas are now pushed closer together to increase the pressure of the gas. Therefore, they collide much more frequently, and in doing so their kinetic energy is converted to heat...

Because you are compressing the air molecules, therefore causing friction----------friction = heat

because you are forcing the molecules into a smaller area where they bang off each other more....
