For the most part, it varies by material and state of matter, but assuming the chemical composition doesnt change and no material changes phase, then it is pretty close to linear in most materials.
Fun fact: gas pressure changes linearly with temperature. If you make one of these plots at mild conditions you can extrapolate the line down to zero pressure and measure where absolute zero temperature is
Wait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

hmm but there will surely be a lot of phase changes with a drop in energy so substantial. we need our top scientists on this asap
