For adiabatic process,

$\mathrm{PV}^{\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{constant} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$

As volume $=[(\text { mass }) /(\text { density })]$ i.e. $\quad \mathrm{V}=(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{d})$

$\left(\mathrm{V}_{1} / \mathrm{V}_{2}\right)=\left(\mathrm{d}_{2} / \mathrm{d}_{1}\right) \ldots \ldots \ldots(2)$

From $(1),\left(P_{1} / P_{2}\right)=\left(V_{2} / V_{1}\right)^{Y}$

From $(2),\left(P_{1} / P_{2}\right)=\left(d_{1} / d_{2}\right)^{Y}$

Here $P_{1}=P, P_{2}=P^{\prime}, d_{1}=d, d_{2}=d^{\prime}$

Hence $\left(P / P^{1}\right)=\left(d / d^{\prime}\right)^{y}$

$\therefore\left(\mathrm{P} / \mathrm{P}^{1}\right)=(1 / 32)^{7 / 5}$

$\therefore\left(\mathrm{P} / \mathrm{P}^{1}\right)=\left[1 / 2^{\{5 \times(7 / 5)\}}\right]=\left(1 / 2^{7}\right)$

$\therefore P^{\prime}=2^{7} \cdot P$

$\therefore\left(P^{\prime} / P\right)=128$
