    Let's assume that O₂ is an ideal gas.

    We can use combined gas law,

    PV/T = k (constant)

    Where, P is the pressure of the gas, V is volume of the gas and T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin.

    For two situations, we can use that as,

    P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

    P₁ = 795 mm Hg

    V₁ = 642 mL

    T₁ = (273 + 23.5) K = 296.5 K

    P₂ = ?

    V₂ = 957 mL

    T₂ = (273 + 31.7) K = 304.7 K

    By applying the formula,

    795 mm Hg x 642 mL / 296.5 K = P₂ x 957 mL / 304.7 K

    P₂ = 548.07 mm Hg

    P₂ = 548 mm Hg

    760 mmHg = 1 atm

    548 mm Hg = 1 atm x (548 mmHg / 760 mmHg) = 0.721 atm

    Pressure of gas = 548 mm Hg = 0.721 atm
