b
given that,
pressure of saturated water vopour $=P$
volume of saturated water vapour $=V$
By ideal gas equation, $P V=n R T$
Where $n=$ amount of substane
$R=$ universal gas constant
$T=$ absolute temperature
as it is compressed isothermally, $T=$ constant
$\therefore P V=$ constant
$\Rightarrow P_{2} V_{2}=P_{1} V_{1}$
given data: $P_{1}=P$ and $V_{1}=V$
$P_{2}=$ ? and $V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{2}=\frac{V}{2}$
$\therefore P_{2} V_{2}=P_{1} V_{1}$
$\Rightarrow P_{2}=\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{V_{2}}=2 P \Rightarrow P_{2}=2 P$
The final pressure will be $2 P$
