Under conditions of constant pressure and moles of gas, the relationship between volume and temperature is described by Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure and the amount of gas are held constant. Therefore, if the volume is tripled, the temperature must also triple to maintain the proportionality, indicating that the temperature increases by a factor of three.
