Set moles, temperature, and volume — pressure follows from PV = nRT. Compress the volume or heat the gas and watch the pressure climb.

Governing equation
Reading this result: At 300 K, 1 mol in 24 L, PV = nRT gives about 103.9 kPa (1.03 atm). Mean molecular speed scales with the square root of temperature, so this gas moves about 1.00x as fast as it would at 300 K. Around room temperature the molecules carry moderate kinetic energy. Expanding the volume spreads the molecules out, lowering the collision rate and the pressure.
