You should be able to set the encrpytion function with the info given:
$$c=m^e \mod n $$
c is the encrpytion on m
m is what needs to be encrpyted which is 3 in this case
you are given the encryption exponent e which is 5
n is given as well 133
you have all the variables there
you just need to find c by evaluating the mod expression
