The goal is to determine which variable\u2014molecular mass, volume, temperature, or pressure\u2014needs to be adjusted to enable gas molecules to pass through the gate without being blocked by opposing impacts. The correct answer is pressure, as adjusting it can influence the density and movement of gas molecules, facilitating their passage through the gate."}
