Question about /tmp on OLD RH

Hail, collective mind.
We have a system running RedHat 7.2 (yes, you shake the case and stone
arrowheads fall out). A user wants /tmp increased; it's current part of
the root partition. You can't increase / without reconfiguring the
system, which I am not about to do if it can be avoided. It would be an
easy fix if /tmp could use swap space. I haven't been able to find out if
this is possible or no. Since the system is about 500 miles away, I can't
experiment; any change I make has to *work*.
Does RH7.2 support tmpfs? What would the fstab entry look like? Is there
an option I'm overlooking to solve the original problem of increasing
/tmp?
Thanks.
