Two bulbs of identical volumes connected by a small capillary are initially filled with an ideal gas at temperature $T$. Bulb $2$ is heated to maintain a temperature $2 T$, while bulb $1$ remains at temperature $T$. Assume throughout that the heat conduction by the capillary is negligible. Then, the ratio of final mass of the gas in bulb $2$ to the initial mass of the gas in the same bulb is close to
