Why does the pressure inside a container of gas increase if more gas is added to the container? There is an increase in the number of particles striking the wall of the container in the same period of time. O An increase in gas causes an increase in temperature, which then increases pressure. O As the volume of gas increases, the force of the collisions between particles and the container increases. As the gas pressure increases, the volume of gas decreases.
