Detailed Solution

For any closed system, number of moles remain conserved.

n1+n2=n1+n2

Here, n1, n2 = initial moles and n1,n2= final moles 

when piston comes in equilibrium, Final pressure and final temperature becomes equal.
From the ideal gas equation we know that PV = nRT 

where n = number of moles
Putting the values of number of moles in above equation gives

PVRT+2P2VRT=PRT[3V]P = 5P3

Here P' = final pressure

For left chamber,

PV=PV=5P3VV=3V5
