The change in the internal energy of an ideal gas for a given change in temperature does not depend on the change in pressure, volume, or whether the process is adiabatic or occurs at constant pressure. It can be calculated assuming the volume is constant because, for an ideal gas, the change in internal energy is a function of temperature change only, according to the first law of thermodynamics and the ideal gas law.
