Default how hot should an piston air compressor get

A single stage air compressor can easily get hot enough to cause a 2nd
degree (blisters) level burn on the skin.

If you can to get "scientific" that find out what happens when you compress
air from 0 psig to 135 psig under adiabatic conditions. (Add about 15 psi
to convert to psia.)
