How to prove the inequality $\iint_{x^2+y^2 \leq 1} e^{x^2+y^2}dxdy \leq (\int_{\sqrt{\pi}/2}^{\sqrt{\pi}/2} e^{x^2}dx)^2$

I am having trouble proving the following inequality.

$$ \iint_{x^2+y^2 \leq 1} e^{x^2+y^2}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y \leqslant {\left(\int_{\sqrt{\pi}/2}^{\sqrt{\pi}/2} e^{x^2} \mathrm{d}x\right)}^2 $$

I have tried the following approaches but all failed.

  • $$0\leq x\leq 1\implies e^{x^2}\geq xe^{x^2}=\left(\frac{1}{2} e^{x^2}\right)'$$

this failed because $xe^{x^2}$ is too small

  • $${\left(\int_{-L}^L e^{x^2}\mathrm{d}x\right)}^2=\iint_{\begin{subarray}{l}{-L\leq x\leq L\\ -L\leq y\leq L}\end{subarray}} e^{x^2+y^2}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y\leq \iint_{x^2+y^2\leq L^2} e^{x^2+y^2}\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d} y$$

The area $x^2+y^2\leq L^2$ is too small.

  • partial(prefix) sum taylor series of $e^{x^2}$, theoretically this can lead to a big enough estimation, however it involves too much calculation.

so: $$I_1=\iint\limits_{x^2+y^2\le 1}e^{x^2+y^2}\,dxdy=\int\limits_0^{2\pi}\int\limits_0^1re^{r^2}\,drd\theta$$


$$I_2=\left(\int\limits_{-\sqrt{\pi}/2}^{\sqrt{\pi}/2}e^{x^2}\,dx\right)^2=\int\limits_{-\sqrt{\pi}/2}^{\sqrt{\pi}/2}\int\limits_{-\sqrt{\pi}/2}^{\sqrt{\pi}/2}e^{x^2+y^2}\,dxdy=\int\limits_0^{2\pi}\int\limits_0^{\sqrt{\pi/2}}re^{r^2}\,drd\theta$$ now since the domains for $\theta$ are the same we can ignore those, and since the functions of $r$ are the same we only really care about comparing the domains, since we know that $\exp(r^2)>0$ and so it comes down to $\sqrt{\pi/2}>1$ so we are integrating a strictly positive function over a larger domain and so the integral will be greater.
