Osmotic pressure describes the pressure exerted by a solvent to prevent the influx of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane
Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the temperature $\because \pi=CRT$ where,
i.e. $\pi \propto T$, thus, on increasing the temperature, osmotic pressure also increases.

The temperature of a solution plays a crucial role in its osmotic pressure. Increasing the temperature leads to enhanced molecular movement and more vigorous solvent-solute interactions, resulting in an increase in osmotic pressure.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
The solutions can be classified into three types:
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
