What is wrong with the following statements? A fixed quantity of ideal gas at constant volume is warmed from a temperature of 20°C to 40°C

The pressure in the gas doubles during this process because the temperature doubles.
A)

The appropriate temperature does not double during this process, so the pressure does not double either.
B)

It is impossible to keep a fixed quantity of gas at constant volume during the temperature change specified in the problem.
C)

The pressure changes to one half its initial value during this process.
D)

The conclusion regarding the pressure cannot be reached because the mass of the ideal gas particles is unknown.
E)

The pressure change will depend on whether the ideal gas particles are monatomic or polyatomic.
