Two Containers Contain the Same Gas at Different Temperatures and Pressures

Two containers contain the same gas at different temperatures and pressures as detailed in the drawing.The small container has a volume of 1 liter and the large container has a volume of 2 liters.The two containers are then connected to each other using a thin tube and the system is allowed to reach equal pressure and temperature in both containers.If the final temperature is 300 K,what is the final pressure? You may assume that the connecting tube has negligible volume and mass.

A) 400 kPa
B) 250 kPa
C) 200 kPa
D) 300 kPa
