    2.667 L

    Explanation:

    We can solve this question using Boyle's Law of the ideal gas. When the temperature is constant, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. In the question, the pressure increases from 5 atm to 7.5atm. There is no change in temperature and the number of gas molecules. The calculation will be:

    P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

    5 atm * 4 L = 7.5atm * V2

    V2 = 20L/7.5

    V2 = 2.667 L
