An ideal gas is expanding such that $PT^{3} = \text{constant}$. The coefficient of volume expansion of the gas is: (in $/T$)

An ideal gas has $N$ molecules in a closed box at temperature $T_1$ and pressure $P_1$. If the number of molecules in the box is doubled and the total kinetic energy is kept the same,what will be the new pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$?

Following statements are given:
$(1)$ The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases when the temperature is reduced.
$(2)$ The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule increases with increase in pressure at constant temperature.

$(4)$ Pressure of a gas increases with increase in temperature at constant volume.
$(5)$ The volume of gas decreases with increase in temperature.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ vessel contains $14 \, g$ ($7$ moles) of hydrogen and $96 \, g$ ($3$ moles) of oxygen at $STP$. $A$ chemical reaction is induced by passing an electric spark in the vessel until one of the gases is consumed. The temperature is brought back to its starting value of $273 \, K$. The pressure in the vessel is ...... $atm$.
