Step-by-step explanation

There are said to have two different conditions of a gas.

First condition is STP which means: pressure = 1 atm and temperature (absolute) = 0 °C + 273 = 273 K

-------------

It is said that the temperature remains constant, therefore we can apply Boyle's law which states that the pressure of a gas tends to decrease as the volume of the container increases.
