Temperature, pressure, volume , and number of molecules of airin two identical room are shown in figure.
By equation of state of ideal gas we know that

PV = nRT

Where

P->"Pressure"

V->"Volume"

T->"Absolute Temperature"

n->"No. of moles"

R->"Universal gas constant"

In our case the rooms are identical . This means they have equal volume .The temperatures of the rooms are different and they are perfectly insulated. So the temperatures are remaining unaltered with time.

If the air in the rooms are in in equilibrium of pressure then P_1=P_2. In this condition

n_1T_1=n_2T_2

As number of molecules is proportional to number of moles

=>N_1T_1=N_2T_2

=>N_1/N_2=T_2/T_1

If T_1>T_2 then T_2/T_1<1=>N_1/N_2<1

=>N_1 < N_2

So the room having higher temperature will have less molecules to maintain equilibrium of pressure.
