Which of the following statements describes how the volume of the container changes due to the reaction?

Imagine that the reaction 2 CO(g)+O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) occurs in a container that has a piston that moves to maintain a constant pressure when the reaction occurs at constant temperature. Which of the following statements describes how the volume of the container changes due to the reaction: 

(a) the volume increases by 50%

(b) the volume increases by 33%

(c) the volume remains constant

(d) the volume decreases by 33%

(e) the volume decreases by 50%
