The general gas law equation that is formed by combining the three laws of Boyle, Charle and Guy Lussac is written as:
(PV/T)1 = (PV/T)2
STP conditions means that T= 273 kelvin and P = 1 atmospheric pressure
Based on the above rule, we calculate V2 as follows:
(4.25*55)/500 = (1*V)/273
V2 = 127.599 liters

Extra notes:
Boyles law: volume and pressure of a certain mass of gas are inversely proportional provided that the temperature is constant
Charle's law: volume and temperature of a certain mass of gas are directly proportional provided that the pressure is constant
Guy Lussac's law: pressure and temperature of a certain mass of gas are directly proportional provided that the volume is constant
