The ratio $$\gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V}$$ for an ideal gas.
For an ideal gas, $$C_P = C_V + R$$, where $$R$$ is the universal gas constant.
$$C_V = \frac{f}{2}R$$ where $$f$$ is the degrees of freedom.
$$\gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V} = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$$
For an ideal gas, $$f$$ is a constant (depends only on the type of gas - monatomic, diatomic, etc.), and does not depend on temperature.
Therefore $$\gamma$$ is independent of temperature: $$\gamma \propto T^0$$.
(Note: In reality, at very high temperatures, vibrational modes get activated, changing $$f$$, but in the standard kinetic theory treatment, $$\gamma$$ is constant.)
The correct answer is Option (2): $$\boxed{\gamma \propto T^0}$$.
