5.15 describe the qualitative relationship between pressure and Kelvin temperature for a gas in a sealed container

In a sealed container, temperature (in K) and pressure are proportional. This is because the higher the temperature the faster the molecules move the more pressure is exerted onto the walls of the sealed container. If you double the temperature, you double the kinetic energy (5.14), this will double the pressure.
