ideal gas law

i had a question PV=nRT
is the V the volume of the container or the gas

and if it was the container
and i had a balloon and i squeezed it decreasing the volume increasing the pressure
will that increase the temperature?

thank you

How can the volume of the container be different from the volume of the gas?

No, it would just increase the pressure.

ideal gas law

what's the kind of compression will result in
an increase temperature then?
