    Use the Ideal gas Law:

    PV=nRT

    Which rearranged becomes:

    V/T = nR/P

    So if n (the number of moles of gas) and P (pressure) are constant, you have



    Here you have the initial volume (75 mL) and temp (30 degrees C= 303.15 Kelvin) and final temp (50 degrees C = 323.15 Kelvin), so now you can solve for the final volume. Of course this all assumes that the pressure remains constant - does it?
