    Gay-Lussac's law described the relation between the pressure and the temperature of a gas at a certain volume.

    His law states that: "At constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature."

    P/T = constant

    This can be written as:

    P1 / T1 = P2 / T2 where:

    P1 is the initial pressure = 2.1 atm

    T1 is the initial temperature = 21 + 273 = 294 degrees kelvin

    P2 is the final pressure that we need to calculate

    T2 is the final temperature = 85 + 273 = 358 degrees kelvin

    Substitute with the givens in the above relation to get the value of P2 as follows:

    (2.1) / (294) = P2 / (358)

    P2 = 358 * (2.1/294)

    P2 = 2.557 atm
