If a filter has 1dB IL at ambient, the noise
figure is 1dB. If at hot temperature, the filter has 1.5dB IL, will
the NF be higher than 1.5dB?

At higher temperature the overall noise power
floor will be higher (KTB). However, noise figure is the ratio between
the signal to noise ratio at the output to the signal to noise ratio
at the input therefore the noise floor is cancelled out and what is
left is the additive noise from the filter, or what you know as noise
figure. In this case the additive noise is 1.5dB, which is the noise
figure.

to the formula

Correction to the ratio you provided, the noise figure is the ratio
between the S/N in the input to the one in the output.

When
NF is tested over temprature, is the ENR source in the chamber? Most
people have it out side the chamber and NF is calculated based on an
ambient reference temp.
