When the temperature of $2$ moles of an ideal gas is increased by $20^{\circ} C$ at constant pressure,find the work involved in the process. (in $R$)

In thermodynamics,the $P-V$ work done is given by $w = -\int P_{ext} dV$. For a system undergoing a particular process,the work done is $w = -\int \left(\frac{RT}{V - b} - \frac{a}{V^2}\right) dV$. This equation is applicable to a:
