$A$ 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 the expansion respectively, then the value of $\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}$ will be
