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.

#(P_1V_1)/T_1 = (P_2V_2)/T_2#

You know that

#V_1 = 322# #"mL#,
#T_1 = 29^@C = 273.15 + 29 =302.15# #"K"#
#P_1 = 616# #"mmHg" = 616# #"mmHg" * ("1 atm")/(760"mmHg") = 0.810# #"atm"#

At STP, the temperature is equal to #T_2 = 273.15# #"K"# and pressure is equal to #P_2 = 1.00# #"atm"#. Plug all in and get

#V_2 = P_1/(P_2) * T_2/T_1 * V_1 = (0.810atm)/(1.00atm) * (273.15K)/(302.15K) * 322mL#

#V_2 = 236# #"mL"#
