 As P=13mNVvrms2                  .....(i)

where m is the mass of each molecule, N is the total number of molecules, V is the volume of the gas. When mass of all the molecules is halved and their speed is doubled, then the pressure will be

P'=13m2×NV×2vrms2 =23mNVvrms2=2P                        .....(using(i))
