For the free expansion of a gas,which of the following is true?

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In an insulated container,a gas is adiabatically shrunk to half of its initial volume. The temperature of the gas decreases.
Reason $(R) :$ Free expansion of an ideal gas is an irreversible and an adiabatic process.

Consider the given diagram. An ideal gas is contained in a chamber (left) of volume $V$ and is at an absolute temperature $T$. It is allowed to rush freely into the right chamber of volume $V$ which is initially vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated. What will be the final temperature once the equilibrium has been attained?
