Can you help me with this problem?

An ideal gas is compressed adiabatically. The work done over it is 200 J.
How much will the internal energy change?

A) 200 J
B) 100 J
C) -200 J
D) 0 J

Which formula do you use to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

But in this case work is applied to the system from the outside.
So this means that energy is added to the system and the correct answer would be 200 J?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
