Solution

The correct option is D neither the temperature nor the pressure will change
When the temperature of the gas is same as that of the walls of the container, there is no exchange of energy. Hence, the molecules will return with the same average speed, whether the collisions are elastic or inelastic and consequently neither the temperature nor the pressure will change.
Thus, option D is correct.
