Chris,
An engine's inlet charge mixture is modeled as an ideal gas. If no other changes are made, increasing the compression ratio (compressing) will theoretically increase the inlet charge mixture temperature. It may be hard to see/measure the difference, but it will.

That said, the change doesn't have to increase other fluid temps as cooling system etc. modifications can be made to compensate.
