The volume of the bubble will be #"1.45 cm"^3#.

Explanation:

Given

The volume (#V_1#) of a gas at a temperature #T_1#.
A second temperature #T_2#

Find

The second volume #V_2#

Strategy

A problem involving two gas volumes and two temperatures must be a Charles' Law problem.

#color(blue)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2color(white)(a/a)|)))" "#

We can rearrange this equation to get

#V_2 = V_1 × T_2/T_1#

Solution

In your problem,

#V_1 = "1.15 cm"^3#; #T_1 = "(22 + 273.15) K" = "295.15 K"#
#V_2 = ?#; #color(white)(mmml)T_2 = "(99 + 273.15) K" = "372.15 K"#

#T_2 =1.15 "cm"^3 × (372.15 cancel("K"))/(295.15 cancel("K")) = "1.45 cm"^3#

The new volume is #"1.45 cm"^3#.
