hi guys, need some help. dont know how to takle this question

A car tyre is inflated to a pressure of 24lbin2(pound squared inch) on a day when temperature was -5 degrees C. what pressure will be found. assume no leaks on a subsequent day when the temperature is 35 degrees C?
The important thing is that in both cases, volume and amount of gas remain constant. This question is about the ideal gas laws, specifically p1/T1 = p2/V2. You know p1, T1, and T2, so you can rearrange to find p2. Remember to convert temperature to absolute units (K).
