1.5 liters.

Explanation:

Use this equation: P1V1=P2V2

P1 = 109 kPa
V1 = 3 L
P2 = 218 kPa
V2 = ??

P1V1=P2V2
(109)(3) = (218)(V2)
(327) = (218)(V2)
V2 = 1.5

Therefore the new volume would be 1.5 Liters.

(this equation can only be used if the temperature remains constant. if temperature, volume, and pressure are all changing, used the combined gas law: P1V1T1=P2V2T2)
