The correct answer is: 2RT0
 
In a process PVx = constant, molar heat capacity is given by

C = R γ - 1 + R 1 - x

As the process is P V = constant.

i.e PV-1 = constant, therefor, x = -1

For ideal monoatomic gas, γ = 5/3

C = R 5 3 - 1 + R 1 - -1 = 3 2 R + R 2 = 2R

Δ Q = n C Δ T = 1 2 R 2 T 0 - T 0 = 2 RT 0
