Solution

The correct option is D 1400
The density of a gas is given by the following expression:

d=PMRT, where M is molecular weight of the gas.

So, at a constant temperature, density is proportional to pressure.

Now, since density is doubled, pressure must also be doubled.

So, final pressure =2×700 mm=1400 mm.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
