671.4mL to 1 decimal place.

Explanation:

As temperature and number of moles of gas remained unchanged, use the formula $P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2$ , where $P_1$ and $P_2$ are the old and new pressures and $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the old and new volumes respectively, to calculate the volume of gas.

You must convert the pressures into a single unit. The best option is to convert the new pressure, given in mmHg, into atm. As we know, $1 atm = 760 mmHg$
Therefore, $738mmHg = 738/760 atm$ . For the sake of accuracy, we are going to used this fraction rather than the irrational decimal value.
$P_1*V_1 = P_2*V_2$
$P_1 = 1 atm$
$V_1 = 652mL$
$P_2 = 738/760 atm$
$V_2 = ?$

Putting in all the known values, we have:
$1atm*652mL = 738/760 atm * V_2mL$
$V_2 = (1atm*652mL)/(738/760atm)$
$V_2 = 671.436mL$
