mean free path

Could anyone tell me how pressure and temperature effect mean free path?

when we raise the pressure, it's equivalent to decreasing the volume. So when we have for example 1000 molecules in a space and we decrease the volume of the space (isotherm) what do you think will happen with the mean free path ?

same when we have the same space, but raise the temperature. The molecules start moving faster so the chance that they collide with each other increases --> what will happen with mean free path ?
