It would become hotter plasma. Plasma is the state of matter which is energetic enough (therefore "hot" enough) that electrons are stripped from atoms. If you make a plasma hotter you strip more electrons from the atoms, until you reach a state in which naked nuclei are roaming in a sea of free electrons, but it's still a plasma. "Naked nuclei in a sea of electrons" is something that you don't find except in stellar cores or similar situations. Dan Berger MadSci Administrator
