Use the ideal gas equation.
Now, you can do a 'shortcut' since there are two constants here, namely the number of moles n and the ideal gas constant R.
This becomes:
And since the second case has the same constant, that is the same number of moles and the same ideal gas constant, you can have:
You only need to convert the temperature to Kelvin.
