The ratio of the specific heat capacities of a gas is $1.5$. When the gas undergoes an adiabatic process, its volume is doubled and its pressure becomes $P_1$. When the gas undergoes an isothermal process, its volume is doubled and its pressure becomes $P_2$. If $P_1 = P_2$, what is the ratio of the initial pressures of the gas when it undergoes adiabatic and isothermal processes?

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}: 1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$
