    Depends on the rate of temp increase and amount of volume decreased. More importantly, how is it a "closed sample" if you are removing volume. Closed sample infers that it is isolated (as best we can isolate something) and therefore nothing can be taken away or added. You are adding thermal energy and removing volume, meaning it's not a closed sample or experiment at all.


    Edit: I think the answer your professor will be looking for is an increase, decrease, or no change in pressure or potential energy. This once again, depends on the rate of thermal energy added and volume removed.
