Detailed Solution

Consider the diagram, where an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder, having a piston of mass M. Friction is absent.

Question Image

The pressure inside the gas will be p = pa + Mg/A
where, pa = atmospheric pressure,

            A = area of cross-section of the piston
and    Mg = weight of piston.
Hence, p = constant
As,      pV = nRT
When temperature increases, volume (V) increases at constant pressure.
