Explanation:

Which holds that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, then #PV=k#, where #k# is some constant...........and so under equivalent conditions of temperature......

#P_1V_1 = P_2V_2#................

And here we solve for #P_2=(P_1V_1)/V_2#

#=(1.7*atmxx26.0*L)/(10.7*L)#

#=4.1*atm.........#

Why is it reasonable that pressure has increased?
