Effect of Temperature on Pressure in Gas

Easy General Chemistry Gas Phase

Consider a balloon filled with helium gas. The balloon is initially at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere. If the temperature of the helium gas inside the balloon is increased to 50°C while keeping the volume constant, what will happen to the pressure of the helium gas?

Using the ideal gas law which states that PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin, analyze the relationship between temperature and pressure under constant volume conditions.
