Why does a gas get heated on compression ?

The equation of state for a gas is given by $PV = nRT + \alpha V$, where $n$ is the number of moles and $\alpha $ is a positive constant. The initial temperature and pressure of one mole of the gas contained in a cylinder are $T_o$ and $P_o$ respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will be
