Answer:

A. 6atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pressure law equation:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question;

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = 120K

T2 = 240K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

3/120 = P2/240

Cross multiply

240 × 3 = P2 × 120

720 = 120P2

P2 = 720/120

P2 = 6atm
