Question

pressure plays an vital role in the solubility of gas in liquid. Solubility is the amount of solute dissolved in solvent. With increasing in the pressure on the liquid system, solubility of gas in liquid increases. 
As per Henry’s Law, at constant temperature, the mass of a gas dissolved per unit volume of solvent is directly proportional to the pressure of gas in equilibrium.

Solute - Solid substance
Solvent - Liquid substance. 

Solute is mixed into solvent to form solution and solubility is the amount of a substance (solute) mixed in a particular solvent to form solution.When temperature increases -
the average kinetic energy of the liquid molecules increases. This increased kinetic energy makes the liquid molecules creating more space between them.With increase in temperature, the intermolecular forces holding the solid particles also decrease. 
This leads to break them into smaller pieces and makes them readily take space vacant between the liquid particles. This way more solute is dissolved readily in liquid.Hence, the solubility increase with increase in temperature.
