If the gas is ideal, for an isothermal expansion
p=nRT/V=constant/V
As the volume of the system changes, so must the pressure.
process is performed at constant external pressure and temperature,then as shown above the condition of mechanical balance cannot be satisfied,
since p will change during the process
