A cylinder with a movable piston contains $3\,moles$ of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure. The walls of the cylinder are made of a heat insulator, and the piston is insulated by having a pile of sand on it. By what factor does the pressure of the gas increases if the gas is compressed to half its original volume? 

  • A

    $(2)^{7 / 5}$

  • B

    $(2)^{1 / 5}$

  • C

    $(5)^{7 / 5}$

  • D

    $(2)^{1 / 5}$
