The final pressure is =133.3 "torr"

Explanation:

Apply Gay Lussac's Law

" Pressure "/"Temperature (K)"=" Constant "

When the volume is kept constant.

P_1/T_1=P_2/T_2

The initial pressure is P_1=100 " torr"

The initial temperature is T_1=27^@C=273+27=300K

The final temperature is T_2=127^@C=273+127=400K

The final pressure is

P_2=T_2/T_1*P_1=400/300*100=133.3 "torr"
