Hrm... Sort of a silly bonus question if you ask me. Why?
Well, it depends on how you believe god works. He could either be fueling hell himself, keeping it hot until such time that he decides that hell should freeze over, or he could make it a place where the rocks burn eternally without consuming themselves. The problem with that guys assertion(regardless of whether he got an A or not) is that souls don't have any mass, so you could cram as many as you'd like into hell and it probably wouldn't make a difference in the temperature if you take into account the way ghosts don't appear to displace oxygen.
OF course, all this is truly irrelevant, because as we all know, the pope has declared that hell isn't a burning inferno of fire and brimstone, just some really really bad place. Gotta love the RCC.
