You can calculate the approximate final volume using the ideal gas law at constant pressure.

This is the reknown Law of Charles:

V / T = constant.

=> V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Where V is the volume and T is the absolute temperature (Kelvin).

V2 = (V1 / T1) * T2

V1 = 4.1 liter
T1 = 22 + 273.15 K = 295.15K
T2 = 52 + 273.15 K = 325.15K

V2 = (4.1 liter / 295.15K)*325.15K = 4.6 liter

Answer: 4.6 liter
