An ideal monoatomic gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$, the final pressure is $P_a$. The ratio $\frac{P_a}{P_i}$ is

  • A
    $2^{-1/3}$
  • B
    $2^{1/3}$
  • C
    $2^{2/3}$
  • D
    $2^{-2/3}$
