Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is
  • A$2^{\gamma-1}$
  • B${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma  - 1}}$
  • C${\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \gamma }}} \right)^2}$
  • D${\left( {\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1 }}} \right)^2}$
