To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following formula given in the problem above:


PV=nRT

3. Then, to solve for P you only need to move V from the left member to the right member. V is multiplying P, therefore, it will divide
nRT,
as you can see below:


PV=nRT\\P=(nRT)/(V)

Therefore, the answer is:
P=(nRT)/(V)
