Yes compressing air increase its temperature but does that necessarily increase pressure? In an pellet gun a spring driven piston compresses the air which increases the temperature but wouldn't any increasing pressure simply retard the piston's advance? Because the chamber volume is not fixed shouldn't the pressure be equal to the spring's force but not greater? So my question is, does the resulting higher temperature increase the pressure in this situation?
I'm not an engineer let alone a physicist so please explain the answer in layman's terms.
Thank you,
