    To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. 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 = (47+273.15) x 780 / (27+273.15)

    P2 = 831.97 mmHg
