Default Help with a Hose!

This is from a '98 vert. This hose keeps coming disconnected. It is located in front of the firewall drivers side. I attach it back together but it comes apart with the heat. Could someone tell me what this hose does? When I see it disconnected with the engine running a little smoke puffs out of it.

Please let me know. Thanks all.

Looks like a AIR tube line.

Why not just throw a little clamp on it? 5 minutes and you're done.

Will connecting it back fix it without having to do anything else?
