OK, I figured it out. Due to its isotropy, p depends only on the average of v^2 and is, in fact, proportional to the average energy. The expression for the temperature in terms of the average energy is not derived independently but uses the equation of state to show that it, too is proportional...

Thanks. I should have added that I meant the LOCAL temperature and pressure in a fluid that's not necessarily in (global) equilibrium. Would those be computed in the local rest frame? I understand the the relativistic character of temperature has been a controversial topic. Has some consensus...

Since the temperature of a gas is related to its average molecular energy and the pressure to the average molecular momentum, it would seem that a Lorentz transformation would somehow relate the two. Does anyone know of related work?
