$A$ gas for which $\gamma = 1.5$ is suddenly compressed to $\frac{1}{4}$ of its initial volume. What is the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure?

Under an adiabatic process,the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently,the mean collision time between the gas molecules changes from $\tau_{1}$ to $\tau_{2}$. If $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma$ for this gas,then a good estimate for $\frac{\tau_{2}}{\tau_{1}}$ is given by:

Initial pressure and volume of a monoatomic ideal gas are $P$ and $V$. The change in internal energy of this gas in adiabatic expansion to volume $V_{final} = 27V$ is . . . . . . $J$.
