I think $m^{3}$ $m^3$

Explanation:

In the gas law stuff, there is a gas constant, R, in which R=8.134 J/molK

A Joule has units of $\frac{k g \times m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ $(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)$

R = $\frac{PV}{nT}$ $"PV"/"nT"$ , and the moles and temp cancel from the gas constant, so that means
$\frac{k g \times m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ $(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)$ = PV

Pressure is in Newtons, $\frac{F}{m^{2}}$ $"F"/m^2$ , or $\frac{kg*m}{m^{2} s^{2}}$ $"kg*m"/(m^2s^2)"$

$\frac{k g \times m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ $(kgxxm^2)/(s^2)$ = $\frac{kg*m}{m^{2} s^{2}}$ $"kg*m"/(m^2s^2)$ V

If you solve for V, you get $m^{3}$ $m^3$
That was the round-about way of doing it, but I know energy is Joules and Pressure is Newtons...so obviously should use the ideal gas law :)
