In an Adiabatic Process -\Delta Q= 0

 So  \Delta U + \Delta W = 0 \dots (First \ law \ of\ thermodynamics)

So, For expansion the work is done by the system, it means the work done is positive. So change in internal energy is negative. It means that the internal energy decreases.and hence temperature decreases.

 \therefore from equation of state of ideal gas

   PV = nRT   \Rightarrow As temperature decreases then The product of P and V decreases.
