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

The answer is true, but the usefulness of the question is doubtfall
because all things dont remain constant. In practice , at least where
I live, the temperature can change quite radily during the day with
virtually no change in pressure. But then when you talk about
synoptic charts, high pressure is associated with higher temperatures,
and vice versa for low pressure systems.
