A/C not working

I have refrigerant in the car and it holds it but I only get A/C for the first five minutes the car is started then it starts blowing hot. Any recommendations on fixing ?

Could also be the compressor clutch needing adjusted. Gap too large causes the clutch to slip, eventually overheating the compressor and turning off. Remove a washer from the clutch to fix the issue.
