As we learnt in

Equation of state -

dQ= 0

n\, C_{V}\, dT+PdV= 0
 

- wherein

On solving

\gamma \frac{dV}{V}+\frac{dP}{P}= 0

 

PV^{\gamma }= constant

On differentiating, we get

dP.V^{\gamma }+\gamma .V^{\gamma - 1}.PdV = 0

\Rightarrow dP = -\gamma \frac{P}{v}.dV

\frac{dP}{P} = -\gamma \frac{dV}{V} = -\left ( 1.4 \right )\times 5 \%=-7\%
