Answer:
Pressure will increase by the direct ratio of the volume change. Therefore, since volume changes from 145 to 80, pressure will go up by the ratio change 145÷80 times the original pressure 125 kPa. Sure, you can use the more complicated gas law equation PV = nRT but we are only varying volume so the question boils down to the change in one simple variable.
Putting them together we have: 145÷80 x 125 = 226.5625 or just 226 kPa since the accuracy of the figures and the equation are not great.
