.what will be the change in the speed of sound in air?

Q. Assertion :Speed of sound in gases is independent of pressure of gas. Reason: With increase in temperature of gas speed of sound will increase.

Use the formula $v = \sqrt{\frac{γ P}{ρ}}$ to explain why the speed of sound in air is independent of pressure, increases with temperature, increases with humidity.
