Option: 1

Because temperature is increased in adiabatic expansion


Option: 2

Because temperature is decreased in adiabatic expansion


Option: 3

Because temperature is constant in adiabatic expansion


Option: 4

Nothing can be said

Boyle’s law is applicable only for the processes when the temperature is constant. In adiabatic expansion, the temperature of the gas is lowered. Thus, Boyle’s law cannot be used in this case.
Therefore, Option(2) is correct
