If a tire has a pressure of 11.9 Pa, a volume of 2.8 L at a temperature of 319 K, and the pressure increases to 13.4 kPa when the temperature rises to 325 K, what is the new volume of the tire?

Approx.
Explanation:
We use the combined gas law,
Thus
So pressure seems to win over temperature here inasmuch as the starting volume has been reduced.
