This is Gay Lussac's Law.
At constant volume, the absolute pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (Kelvin).
Whatever the absolute temperature does, the absolute pressure will vary in proportion.
P1 x T2 = P2 x T1.
This means for example, by doubling the absolute temperature, you'll double the absolute pressure.
(This applies to ALL gases, not simply 'Ideal Gases').

The relationship between the pressure, temperature, and density of a gas (or any other medium for that matter) is referred to its Equation of State. You're probably thinking of an *ideal* gas. Look it up in that chapter you haven't read.
