As we learnt in 

Kinetic Theory of Gases -

Average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

 

-

 

m_{A}= 2m_{B}

u_{A}= 2u_{B}

n_{A}= n_{B}

v_{A}= v_{B}

\frac{P_{A}V_{A}}{P_{B}V_{B}}= \frac{\frac{1}{3}m_{A}n_{A}u^{2}_{A}}{\frac{1}{3}m_{B}n_{B}u^{2}_{B}}
