When a container of gas is heated, would you expect its molecules to speed up, slow down, or be unaffected?

Gas A is composed of diatomic molecules (two atoms to a molecule) of a pure element. Gas B is composed of monatomic molecules (one atom to a "molecule") of another pure element. Gas A has three times the mass of an equal volume of gas B at the same temperature and pressure. How do the atomic masses of elements $A$ and $B$ compare?

According to Richard Feynman when do atoms attract each other, and when do they repel?

Obviously, a fish cannot live in boiling water, since the temperature of the boil would be around $100\degree \text{C}$ . One would think that, if were to reduce the temperature to the room temperature, that a fish could live in such conditions. That wouldn't be the case since, during the phase in which the water boils, there is a significant release in oxygen. Since a fish needs oxygen to breathe, it couldn't live long in such conditions.
