Answer

a). $(2)$ decreased, b). $166.5^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

a). (2) decreased Since, $PV=nRT$, in constant volume thermometer if pressure decreases then temperature will also decrease. b). P=1000Pa, T=$20^{\circ}C=293K$ Final pressure = 1500Pa. Pressure increased 1.5 times so temperature will also increase 1.5 times. Final temperature = $1.5\times 293=439.5K=166.5^{\circ}C$
