185 Liters (at 810 K)

Let me write down a scientific fact first. When we use Kelvin temperature scale, we do not use degrees sign. This is a scientific rule.

Now the question is

#P*V=n*R*T#

1st situation #48*V=n*R*210#

n and R are constants therefore #V=210/48#

2nd situation #210/48=810/?#

new volume will be #?=185 liters#
