A scientist investigates the behavior of gas particles inside a sealed, rigid metal canister. The canister is heated from State A (15 ∘C15\,^{\circ}\text{C}15∘C) to State B (85 ∘C85\,^{\circ}\text{C}85∘C), as shown in the diagram below.

State what happens to the average kinetic energy of the gas particles when the temperature is increased to 85 ∘C85\,^{\circ}\text{C}85∘C, as shown in State B.
