The final pressure is 6250 Pa.
Explanation:
If we assume that the temperature does not change, then the product of pressure and volume has to be constant:
It means that the product of initial pressure and volume has to be the same as the final product of pressure and volume.
substituting the numbers
Then the final pressure is
