Two identical capacitors $A$ and $B$ are connected as shown in the circuit. Initially,the switch $S$ is closed. Now,the switch is opened and the free space between the plates of the capacitors is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$. The ratio of total electrostatic energy stored in the capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric is
