One mole of an ideal gas is contained within a cylinder by a frictionless piston and is initially at temperature $T$. The pressure of the gas is kept constant while it is heated and its volume doubles. If $R$ is the molar gas constant,the work done by the gas in increasing its volume is

  • A
    $RT \ln 2$
  • B
    $1/2 \, RT$
  • C
    $RT$
  • D
    $3/2 \, RT$
