How does temperature (proportional to average speed of the molecules) affect the pressure? Compare samples in the same size container at the two differnt speeds.
Any info would be of great help. Thanks to all of you ahead of time

They are proportional to each other.
Increased temperature increases pressure.

Temperature is directly proportional to the pressure.As temperature is proportional to average speed of the molecules,increase the temperature increase the average speed of the molecules.that means the molecules will have more tendency to collide the wall of container.This increase the pressure of the container.

Ok if you take a can that has a lid that can be screwed back on. Heat the can under a flame for 1 minute then screw the lid back on. See what happens when air molecules have escaped the can. The can will crush under a vacuum while it cools! So what's happening is while the can is hot less pressure is in the can, the more cool the can is the more o2 molecules are in the can or otherwise pressure!

In Boyle's Law, Temperature is constant.
Only Volume and Absolute Pressure are involved in calculations
