Answer is: the temperature of the air reduces by half.
The Pressure Temperature Law - the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the temperature:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂.
P₁ = 2P₂.
2P₂/T₁ = P₂/T₂.
T₂ = T₁P₂/2P₂.
T₂ = T₁/2.
As the pressure goes down, the temperature also goes down.
