$A$ monoatomic gas having $\gamma = 5/3$ is stored in a thermally insulated container and the gas is suddenly compressed to $(1/8)^{th}$ of its initial volume. The ratio of final pressure to initial pressure is: ($\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and at constant volume).
