In order to solve this question, we will be using the Gay-Lussac's gas Law, which is an experimental gas law that shows the relationship between temperature and pressure for a gas, the formula is:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

We have:

P1 = 1.00 atm

T1 = 20.0°C, but we need it Kelvin, therefore, 293 K

P2 = ?

T2 = 30°C, or 303 K

Now we add these values into the formula:

1/293 = P2/303

P2 = 1.03 atm is the new pressure
