As we learnt in 

Kinetic Theory of Gases -

Though the individual speeds are changing, the distribution of speeds remains constant at a particular temperature.

-

 

K.E_{O_{2}}= \frac{\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{N}{32}\times R\times 150}{\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{{N}'}{32}\times R\times 300}= \frac{x}{2x}                        

K.E_{O_{2}}= \frac{N\times 1}{N{}'\times 2}

N= N{}'
