Solution

When temperature is constant, then the Boyle's law comes into play.
P1V1=P2V2
P subscript 1=760 mm Hg
V subscript 1=2L
V subscript 2=4 d m cubed= 4L
P subscript 2 equals fraction numerator P subscript 1 V subscript 1 over denominator V subscript 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 760 cross times 2 over denominator 4 end fraction equals 380 space m m space o f space H g
