Solution

The correct option is A Remain the same
The correct answer is option(B).
When we say that the temperature of a gas is the measure of the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, we have to find the velocities of the gas molecules in the centre of mass frame of the gas.
If we chose a different inertial frame then the temperature doesn't increase or decrease.
