Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the required pressure

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

From the question we have

$P_2 = (6 * 1200)/(200) = (7200)/(200) = (72)/(2) \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
