Well we have the Ideal Gas Law so lets see...
PV=nRT
P1*V1/T1=P2*V2/T2
Assume isothermic, T1/T2=1
Therefore: P1*V1 / P2*V2=1
P1*V1=P2*V2
In order to get this you must not compress the cylinder. So I guess you can't compress the cylinder. The additional assumption of no heat transfer certainly does not in any way mitigate this law.

No, this isn't possible. In an adiabatic process V*T^α=constant (α comes from the number of degrees of freedom). Meaning that if you change the volume (compress the gas in your case) the temperature has to change.

well ... I am not 100% sure but I think this is possible ... with total respect to previous answers but I think the rules they used are for all gases ... the question is about Ideal gases ... so If we applied the rule PV=NRT ... Isothermaly that means constant T .. so we can compress ( dec. V ) but we have to increase P ...

no it is not possible because when we compress ideal gas it becomes warm especially piston is adiabatic.

it is possible but only if the prossess should carried out exteremly slow
