Pressure is created by the number of collisions that occur between the molecules and the surface of container. If the temperature in the container is increased this will cause the molecules to move faster. ... By increasing the number of collisions, this will increase the pressure in the container.
Ex: A 5% increase in absolute temperature will resultin a 5% increase in the absolute pressure. ... Resultant pressure changes will vary. A useful thumb rule for water is that pressure in a water-solid system will increase about 100 psi for every 1 F increase in temperature.

Explanation:
As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases as does the velocity of the gas particles hitting the walls of the container. The force exerted by the particles per unit of area on the container is the pressure, so as the temperature increases the pressure must also increase.
For example, if an engineer has to store 600g of oxygen in a container and that oxygen needs to be kept at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, then this theorem (which is called Ideal Gas Law) is used to figure out what volume of a container needs to be built.
