Answer is: volume will be 6,7 L.
Boyle's Law: the pressure volume law - volume of a given amount of gas held varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.
p₁V₁ = p₂V₂.
90 kPa · 5 L = 67 kPa · V₂.
V₂ = 90 kPa · 5 L / 67 kPa.
V₂ = 6,7 L, but same amount of oxygen.
