The correct answer is: 3T
From the ideal gas equation, pV=μRT

p=μRTV

Given, pT2= constant

μRTV.T2= constant

T3=kV ... (i)

Where, k= constant.

On differentiating both sides, we get

3T2dT=kdV...(ii)

From Equations (i) and (ii), we get

3dTT=dVVdVVdT=3T

Coefficient of volume expansion, dVVdT=3T.
