Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_2 = (P_1V_1)/(V_2) \\$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

From the question we have

$P_2 = (125*3.50 )/(2.75) = (437.5)/(2.75) \\ = 159.090909...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
