Well, I assume you got units of atmosphere.....

Explanation:

And we use the #"combined gas Law"#.....#P_1/T_1=P_2/T_2#, where #"VOLUME"# is the same in both instances.

#P_2=P_1/T_1xxT_2#

#=(0.9*atm)/(295*K)xx317.6*K#; note that units of absolute temperature are used.....#0*K-=-273.15# #""^@C#.

#P_2~=1*atm#........
