Ammonium carbonate dissociates as

\text{NH}_2\text{COONH}_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g) + \text{CO}_2(g)

In a closed vessel containing ammonium carbamate in equilibrium, ammonia is added such that partial pressure of

\text{NH}_3

now equals the original total pressure. Calculate the ratio of total pressure now to the original pressure.
