    4.17L

    Explanation:

    V1 = 10L

    V2 = ?

    P1 = 500torr

    P2 = 1200torr

    Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

    P1V1 = P2V2

    V2 = (P1 * V1) / P2

    V2 = 4.17L

    The new volume of the gas is 4.17L
