    To answer this item, we assume that the air is an ideal gas, such that it behaves following the ideal gas law,

    PV = nRT

    If all else are equal in two systems, comparison of the relationship of the volume and pressure becomes,

    P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

    Substituting the known values in the equation,

    (203 kPa) (0.5 L) = (50.8 kPa) (V₂)

    The value of V₂ from the equation is 1.998 L or 2 L.

    Hence, the answer is the third choice, 2.0 L.
