As we learnt in

Kinetic energy of a gas due to translation per mole -

E= \frac{3}{2}PV

= \frac{3}{2}RT
 

- wherein

R = Universal gas constant

T = temperature of gas

 

 Relation between pressure and kinetic energy is

 E= \frac{3}{2}\ PV

\Rightarrow P=\frac{2}{3}\left ( \frac{E}{V} \right )
