Why does the pressure of a gas increase when the temperature increases and the volume remains the same?

If the average kinetic energy of the particles (temperature) remains the same, the average force per particle will be the same. With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
