Capping Water Lines

Hi I need to get remove a sink and am not to sure on how to cap the
pipes off. The supply lines are copper pipes. I know there are caps for
them but if i put the cap on and solder it will it be stong enough to
not blow off from the pressure of the water? As to the drain is there a
cap that I can use that will keep sewer gas from getting in to the room?
IMHO,
For the cut water lines, I think you're missing an opportunity to put
in some valves. As for the caps, I have capped water lines and
they've lasted 13+ years.
Now for your sewer line, they sell inside expanding plugs at your big
box stores. Just ask the person in the plumbing section for help.
Good luck,
