    As the temperature increases, the average velocity increases. So, the collisions are faster.

    Correct Option: B

    As the temperature increases, the average velocity increases. So, the collisions are faster.

    Let the mass of the gas be m.
    At a fixed temperature and pressure, volume is fixed.

    Density of the gas, ρ =
