Charles' and Gay-Lussac's Law: Temperature and Volume

Interactive: The Temperature-Volume Relationship

This model contains gas molecules on the left side and a barrier that moves when the volume of gas expands or contracts, keeping the pressure constant. Run the model and change the temperature. Why does the barrier move when the temperature changes? (Note: Although the atoms in this model are in a flat plane, volume is calculated using 0.1 nm as the depth of the container.)
