When gas dissolve in liquid it generate a small quantity of heatTherefore we can say that dissolution of gas in a liquid is a exothermic reaction.
Gas + liquid < --- > solution + heat
According to Le Chatelier's principle when we increase the temperature in a exothermic reaction , the reaction will move to back ward direction that means solution will dissociate and will give gas .Hence with the rise of temperature gas will less soluble.
