The absolute pressure is related to the gauge pressure using the following formula:

Pabs = Pg + Patm
where
Pabs = absolute pressure
Pg = gauge pressure
Patm = atmospheric pressure

In units of kPa, Patm = 101.325 kPa.

Pabs = Pg + Patm
319 kPa = Pg + 101.325 kPa
Pg = 217.675 kPa

Thus, the gauge pressure is 217.675 kPa.
