A gas at STP in a sealed flask rises 10.0 degrees when set out in the sun. What is the resulting pressure?

I think that the answer to this question can be calculated using Ideal gas law: PV=nRT. Since the volume doesn't change in this example, the second pressure will be proportionally higher: P2=P1(T2/T1) where T1 is the standard temperature of 298K and the T2 is 308K. If you want the answer in atmospheres use 1 as P1 or for Pascals use 100000Pa as P1. It is better explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PV%3DnRT

My Bad! Atmospheric pressure is 101325Pa so this value will give a more accurate answer when substituted into the equation.
