The correct answer is:
Slope of gas 1 is more than gas 2
According to ideal gas equation, $p V=n R T$ or $\frac{p}{T}=\frac{n R}{V}, \frac{p}{T}$ represents slope of the graph As the number of moles are the same for the two gases,
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{p}{T} \propto \frac{1}{V} \\ & \because \quad V_2 \gt V_1 \text { (Given) } \\ & \therefore \quad(\text { Slope })_2 \lt (\text { Slope })_1 \\ & \text { or } \quad(\text { Slope })_1 \gt (\text { Slope })_2 \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{p}{T} \propto \frac{1}{V} \\ & \because \quad V_2 \gt V_1 \text { (Given) } \\ & \therefore \quad(\text { Slope })_2 \lt (\text { Slope })_1 \\ & \text { or } \quad(\text { Slope })_1 \gt (\text { Slope })_2 \\ & \end{aligned}$
