Thermal energy, the Sun, and diffusion: Putting it all together

A gas that can be described by the ideal gas model is contained in a cylinder of volume V. The temperature of the gas is T. The particle mass is m, and the molar mass is M. Write an expression for the total thermal energy of the gas. Now, imagine that the exact same gas has been placed in a container of volume 2V. What happens to its pressure? What happens to its temperature? What happens to its thermal energy?
