can temperature be changed without changing pressure as well as number of molecules for an ideal gas?
Yes. Adjust volume accordingly.

the answer would be different.

Increase in the temperature(e.g. by motion of the piston for compression) would lead to an increase in translation velocity of the particles of an ideal gas. So for a given period of time, more collision would occur and change in momentum would be greater. So won't that mean that pressure would inevitably increase.
the volume doesnt stay constant. It decreases on the compression stroke hence pressure increases.
had the volume increased proportionally to the temp, the P would be constant.
whats the point of all this?

so is there any real life example of a system where volume is increased proportionally to the temp, keeping pressure absolutely constant and without changing the number of molecules as well. Here, the change in temperature should be strictly a change in translation velocity and not vibration, rotation etc.

Basic ideal gas law: PV=nRT, where P=pressure, V=volume, n=no. molecules, R is gas constant, T=temperature.
Change P while holding T and n constant automatically leads to a change in V.

sorry 4 the inconvinience, i failed to realize that atoms with higher kinetic energy can still exert same pressure on wall etc if the number of atoms colliding at a time in a surface area is reduced.
