A cylinder initially contains V 0 = 1 L of argon at temperature T 0 = 0

Question:

A cylinder initially contains V0 = 1 L of argon at temperature T0 = 0 C and pressure p0 = 1 atm. Suppose that the argon is somehow made to expand to a final volume V = 2 L in such a way that the pressure rises proportionally to the volume, finally reaching p = 2 atm. How much work has the argon done? What is its final temperature T and how much thermal energy has been added to the gas?
