I know PV = nRT, but what exactly is happening that explains this relation?

It doesn’t. It’s the other way around. Pressure increases with temperature. Heating the substance more causes the molecules to impact the walls harder and more often; this is a higher pressure.
Pressure hikes causing temperature happens for a different reason, and is significantly more complicated. In *this* equation, any increase in pressure must be caused by an increase in one of the other factors, not the other way around.
