The sample of the gas will occupy 0.947 L.

Since there are no changes in the temperature, we use the following formula to relate both values of pressure:

Then, we replace the values to find the volume:

$\begin{gathered} P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2 \\ 720torr.1.00L=760torr.V_2\text{ } \\ \frac{720torr.1.00L}{760\text{torr}}=V_{2_{}} \\ 0.947L=V_2 \end{gathered}$

So, the sample of the gas will occupy 0.947 L.
