I'm assuming that 616 mg is actually 616 mmHg, the gas' pressure.

You can approach this problem by using the combined gas law, since the number of moles does not change.

P1V1T1=P2V2T2

You know that

V1=322 mL,
T1=29C=273.15+29=302.15 K
P1=616 mmHg=616 mmHg1 atm760mmHg=0.810 atm

At STP, the temperature is equal to T2=273.15 K and pressure is equal to P2=1.00 atm. Plug all in and get

V2=P1P2T2T1V1=0.810atm1.00atm273.15K302.15K322mL

V2=236 mL
