2.30 atm

As Temperature is increased, Pressure is increased. Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature.

#P_1# / #T_1# = #P_2# / #T_2#

#P_1# = 1.34 atm , #T_1# = 298 K

#P_2# = X atm , #T_2# = 512 K

1.34 atm / 298 K = X atm / 512 K

rearranging we get,

1.34 atm x 512 K = 298 K . X atm

686.08 K atm = 298 K . X atm

X atm = 686.08 K atm / 298 K

X atm = 2.30 atm
