    1188.976 mmHg

    Explanation:

    Initial pressure P1 = 755 mmHg

    Initial volume V1 = 6.00 litres

    Final volume V2 = 3.81 litres

    Final pressure P2 = the unknown

    Now applying Boyle's Law, we have;

    P1V1 = P2V2

    Since P2 is the unknown then it has to be made the subject of the formula.

    P2=P1V1 / V2

    P2 = 755 * 6.00 / 3.81

    P2 = 1188.976 mmHg

    Therefore, the new pressure is; 1188.976 mmHg
