A fixed quantity of an ideal gas has a pressure, volume and temperature given by P1, V1, and T1. The pressure and temperature of the gas are both doubled. What is the final volume of the gas, V2 in terms of V1.

Incase this helps somehow, the answer choices are: 

a) (V1)/2

b) V1

c) 2V1

d) 4V1

$$P V = n R T$$

$$V1 = \dfrac {n R T}{P}$$

$$V2 = \dfrac {n R (2 T)}{(2P)}=\dfrac{n R T}{P}=V1$$

$$V2=V1$$
