Does the temperature increase when air pressure increases, or does the temperature decrease when the air pressure increases?

As pressure increases temperature increases. When you let the pressure out of a pressure vessel, such as the propane tank on your BBQ, notice the ice forming at the level of the liquid in the tank. Decrease in pressure causes decrease in temperature.

The equation of state for an ideal gas states that P = (Rho)RT where P is the pressure, Rho is the density of the air, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature. This equation shows that as T goes up so does Pressure if the density is held constant.

In the case of tire pressure, as temperature increases, pressure increases.

They are related by the formula:-
P1 x V1 divide by T1 = P2 x V2 divide by T2
Where P=pressure, V=volume, T=temperature
Also known as Boyle's Law

PV = nRT t= temperature p = pressure
thus if temperature increases so does pressure and vice versa
