Answer:

[tex]V_2=4.5 L[/tex]

Explanation:

Hi, air can be considered as an ideal gas. If mantaining constant the temeperature, you can apply the Boyle-Mariotte formula:

[tex]P_1*V_1=P_2*V_2[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]P_1=3 atm[/tex]

[tex]V_1=1.5 L[/tex]

[tex]P_2=1 atm[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_2=\frac{P_1*V_1}{P_2}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=\frac{3atm*1.5 L}{1atm}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=4.5 L[/tex]
