For a sample of perfect gas when its pressure is changed isothermally from $p_i$ to $p_f$, the entropy change is given by
$\Delta S = nR\ln(V_f/V_i) = nR\ln(p_i/p_f)$.
$\Delta S = nC_{p,m}\ln\frac{T_f}{T_i} + nR\ln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$
For isothermal change $T_i = T_f$, ln 1 = 0
$\Delta S = nR\ln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$
