Suppose you have a closed rigid container of air at 20 Celsius on the surface of the Earth. We increase the temperature of the container to 77, leaving it closed, and read a pressure gauge attached to the container. Initially the reading was 101 KPa (kilopascals, or 1000 N/m2). What is the new reading? Give your answer in KPa.
