You can do it like this:
Explanation:
In a saturated solution of lead chromate the solid is in equilibrium with its ions:
For which:
This is temperature dependent and the temperature should have been specified in the question.
From the equilibrium you can see that
Since lead chromate is 1 molar with respect to lead(II) ions, then this is also equal to the solubility at that particular temperature.
