Would it not be around #7*"bar"#.........?

Old Boyle's Law holds that given constant temperature, and for a given amount of gas.....#Pprop1/V#........

Else, #PV=k#, and thus solving for #k# at different pressures and volumes......

#P_1V_1=P_2V_2#

And so......#P_2=(P_1V_1)/V_2=(14*"bar"xx312*mL)/(652*mL)=??*"bar"#.
