The final volume is =541.5mL

Explanation:

Apply Charles' Law

"Volume"/"Temperature" = "Constant" at "constant pressure"

V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2

The initial volume is V_1=500mL

The initial temperature is T_1=277K

The final temperature is T_2=300K

The final volume is

V_2=T_2/T_1*V_1=300/277*500=541.5mL
