To be able to solve this, one important statement should be present which is that this gas is ideal. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 311 K (1 atm) / 273 K

P2 = 1.14 atm

Therefore, the increase in temperature from 273 K to 311 K at a constant volume lead to an increase of the pressure to 1.14 atm.
