Can't really say, have to make a few assumptions...

Explanation:

Volume: = 500 ml ( = 0.5 liter)
Pressure: 1 atm.

I have never been on Mars, I suppose it will be rather cold there, but assuming that the temparature is the same, in other words, Isothermic , we can use Boyle's law:

P x V = k

Which means that the product of Pressure and Volume is constant: if the pressure doubles, then the Volume halves and vice versa, in other words:

#P_1V_1 = P_2V_2#

1 atm roughly equates to 760 mmHG, therefore

#P_1V_1 = 0.5 * 760 = 380#

#P_1V_1 = P_2V_2#, therefore #P_2V_2 = 380.#

#rarr V2=380/P_2= 380/6.5 = 58.46" "liter.#

In reality, it would probably explode........
