If the gas molecules are more energetic (which would be measured as higher temperature) then it'll be more difficult to establish intermolecular bonds which would hold them in place among water molecules, dissolved. Depending on the type of intermolecular bond a particular gas molecule makes, the easier or more difficult it is to dissolve. It's more or less the same with other solutes, except gas is less dense then air, so stronger bonds are needed, or larger bonding surface areas or colder temperature for it to stay dissolved and not bubble up to the surface and release itself.

As temperature increases, the solubility of gases in liquids usually decreases because gas molecules have more kinetic energy and are more likely to escape from the liquid. On the other hand, as temperature decreases, the solubility of gases in liquids usually increases.
According to the Second law of Thermodynamics, a system moves towards more agitated or dis-orderly state. So as we increase the temperature of a solution containing gases dissolved in it, the gas molecules will move more freely and as a result due to this agitation gas molecules will escape the liquid solution.
Thus, the solubility of a gas decreases with increase in temperature.
In general, lower temperatures and higher pressures increase the solubility of a gas in a liquid. If you've ever opened a warm can of soda, you will have noticed this. It tends to foam more, as the CO2 rushes out of the liquid. Also, once you open the can and reduce the pressure inside it, almost all of the CO2 will come out fairly quickly and the soda goes flat.
Temperature definitely does have a huge affect on the solubility of gasses. The higher the temperature the higher the solubility.
Increasing temperature decreases the solubility of a gas solute in a liquid solvent. This is because higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of molecules, leading to weaker gas-liquid interactions and reduced solubility.
When the temperature of a liquid increases, the solubility of gas in the liquid decreases. This is because as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, causing them to escape from the liquid more easily.
The solubility of gases generally decreases with an increase in temperature. This is because elevated temperatures disrupt the intermolecular forces holding the gas molecules in the liquid solvent, making it easier for the gas to escape into the atmosphere.
