In a previous article, said:
Brought over from RAS:


Assuming that all other variables remain constant:

An increase in temperature will result in a higher atmospheric pressure - a
higher temperature speeds up the movement of the air molecules, thereby
raising the pressure they exert on the surrounding atmosphere.

A) True
B) False

That would be true if the atmosphere was a closed container. It's not,
it's free to expand, so the pressure does not rise.
