Henry's Law still holds, as the amount of free CO2 in the water follows the increase in the atmosphere, but free CO2 is less than 1 % of the total amount of carbon in the oceans surface layer, the bulk are bicarbonates and carbonates, which don't follow Henry's Law, but influence the amount of free CO2.

Until then, it would appear that it is your assertion that the carbon dioxide filled bottle heated faster and become hotter than the air filled bottle because the carbon dioxide has a higher mass than does air, i.e., «Much smaller mass means they can hold much less heat, just as a smaller cup holds less boiling water.»
