The answer is 3/2 the original pressure. The concept behind this is the ideal gas law wherein it states that Pressure (P) times volume (V) is equal to number of moles (n) times ideal gas constant (R) times temperature (T). Since you’re trying to calculate for the pressure you use P=nRT/V. Input 3 to Temperature and 2 to volume. You’ll get a pressure of 3/2 which is 3/2 times the original pressure.
