It'll bounce higher due to an increase in elasticity. Elasticity is an objects ability to restore to it's original form prior to contact with an exterior surface. When a squash ball is heated, it becomes more elastic thus allowing it to bounce higher. if it were to be frozen, an opposite effect would be evident.
sorry too spoil answer although most off this is true i make squash balls and we inject a gel into the ball which when heated turns to steam expanding the ball out the gel is the liquid you see wen the ball splits or pops.

ViviAs the nuetrons in the outer shells of the atom expand the balls becomes more free, or mobile. The equillibium is then placed according to the ball structure. This in time will heat up, sffecting the squash balls movement by up to 30%

When a squash ball hits a wall, or a floor, it changes shape or deforms. Energy is needed for this to happen. The energy needed comes from the ball's kinetic energy. As the ball hits the wall and slows down its kinetic energy is used to deform the ball. Some of this energy is then wasted as heat. When the rubber 'snaps back' because some of the energy is wasted it does not bounce as high. As the ball is struck more and more it gets hotter and hotter. This increases the pressure of the air inside the ball making it bouncier. Also the rubber tends to waste less heat energy when it is hotter, also making it bounce higher.
