A rigid, sealed container of volume V V\,V holds a fixed mass of an ideal gas at an absolute temperature TTT. The gas is heated so that its absolute temperature increases to 4T4T4T.
Which row in the table correctly identifies the factor by which the rate of particle collisions with the walls of the container and the average change in momentum of a particle during a single collision increase?
| Factor increase in rate of collisions | Factor increase in average change in momentum per collision | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4 | 1 (unchanged) |
| B | 4 | 2 |
| C | 2 | 2 |
| D | 2 | 4 |
