A gas filled in a cylinder fitted with movable piston is allowed to expand. What is the nature of the work done by the gas?

A gas is filled in a cylinder fitted with piston at a constant temperature and pressure. Explain on the basis of kinetic theory : (i) The pressure of the gas increases by raising its temperature. (ii) On pulling the piston out, the pressure of the gas decreases. The pressure of an ideal gas filled in the bulb of a constant - volume gas thermomrter at 7^(@)C is 60 cm of mercury. What will be the pressure of the same volume of gas at 147^(@)C ?
