Answer:

Option D. 18.75 cm3

Explanation:

we know that

The Boyle's law (Ideal gas law) states that Where temperature remains constant, the pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

so


P1 *V1 = P2 *V2

In this problem we have

P1=150 kPa

P2=200 kPa

V1=25 cm³

substitute and solve for V2


(150)(25)= 200*V2


V2=(150)(25)/200=18.75\ cm^(3)
