Detailed Solution

The speed of sound in air at NTP is 332 m/s; if pressure is doubled while the temperature is kept constant then the new velocity will be same.
As air has a constant sound speed of 332 m/s, changes in pressure with respect to temperature have no impact on this speed. The velocity of sound in air is unaffected by changes in pressure. Hence new velocity will be the same as before.
