Answer:

New volume of gas is still 4.0 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases have no definite shape or volume. They therefore take the shape of their containers. Hence, volume of gas in a container is determined by the volume of the container. Though some gas was lost after the opening of one of the valves, volume of gas still remains the same.
