0.4 atm

In this question , the gas is kept under the same temperature. Assuming the amount of gas is constant we can apply Boyles' law.

As per the Boyle' law equation;

#P_1# # V_1# = #P_2# # V_2#

2 atm x 0.400 L = #P_2# x 2.0 L

0.800 atm L = 2 #P_2# L

dividing both the sides by 2 we get,

0.400 atm = #P_2#
