Physics Question on Thermal equilibrium

Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following 1) What is the final pressure of the gas in A and B? 2) What is the change in internal energy of the gas? 3) What is the change in the temperature of the gas?

Answer

The cylinder is completely insulated from its surroundings. As a result, no heat is exchanged between the system
