What is the change in temperature when work is done by a gas in an adiabatic process?

$Assertion :$ Adiabatic expansion is always accompanied by fall in temperature.
$Reason :$ In adiabatic process, volume is inversely proportional to temperature.

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by

$A$ polyatomic gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{4}{3}\right)$ is compressed to $\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{\text{th}}$ of its volume adiabatically. If its initial pressure is $p$,its new pressure will be (in $p$)
