Temperature does affect the rate constant. An increase in temperature will always increase the rate of a reaction since the particles will have more kinetic energy and there would be more productive collisions.
The value of the rate constant will hence increase. The increase in rate constant with temperature is exponential, meaning that every time the temperature increases by a certain number of degrees, the rate constant increases by a fixed factor.
