    Gay-Lussac's Law.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The volume and number of moles are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac's Law:

    At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

    p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂ Invert each side of the equation

    T₁/p₁ = T₂/p₂ Multiply each side by p₂

    T₂ = T₁ * p₁/p₂

    p₂ = p₁ * T₂/T₁

    The units for the pressures don't matter if you use same units for each pressure.

    However, the temperatures must be absolute values, usually measured in kelvins.

    I don't know who it was named for but the law is

    P1/T1 = P2/T2

    Make sure the pressure units are the same (atmospheres or kPa usually) and that the temperature is in Degrees Kelvin which is derived from Celsius degrees.

    Try Charles' Law for the name.
