Quick Answer. Gases and plasmas undergo changes in volume most easily. In contrast, liquids and solids have fixed volumes, although liquids do not have fixed shapes. Gases and plasmas expand or contract to fill their containers. Continue Reading.
Changing Temperature, Changing Density. Most matter increases in volume when it gets hotter. For example, if an iron rod is heated, it will get longer and fatter and its density will decrease. This happens because the mass of the rod stays the same, but its volume increases. The increase in the volume of matter with increasing temperature is called expansion. When cooled down, most matter decreases in volume and increases in density. This decrease in volume is called contraction.
