You can determine this using the ideal gas law of PV=nRT
P is pressure, v is volume, n is moles, R is the ideal gas constant (0,0821) and T is temperature. 
I the first case n=1, v=2, and P=2
PV=nRT
(2)(2)=(1)(0.0821)T
T=?
You do the same for the second container and that should help you decide which answer is right
