(N/A) According to the kinetic theory of gases,the absolute temperature $T$ of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
For a monoatomic gas,the average kinetic energy per molecule is given by $\langle K \rangle = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$,where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant.
This implies that temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas.
As the temperature increases,the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase,leading to higher pressure and more frequent collisions.
