To increase the rms speed of gas molecules by $25 \%$,the percentage increase in absolute temperature of the gas is to be

Consider an ideal gas with the following distribution of speeds:
Speed $(m/s)$$\%$ of molecules

$(a)$ Calculate $v_{rms}$ and hence $T$. (Given mass of one molecule $m = 3.0 \times 10^{-26} \ kg$, Boltzmann constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \ J/K$)
$(b)$ If all the molecules with speed $1000 \ m/s$ escape from the system, calculate the new $v_{rms}$ and hence the new $T$.
