Since from second law,. 

d S ≥ O d S = change in entropy

During the expansion of gas, the thermodynamic probability of gas is larger and hence its entropy is also very large. Since form second law, entropy cannot decrease 

∴ following the second law, gas molecules move from one partition to another.
