The new volume is #=5.84L#

Apply Charles' Law

#"Volume"/"Temperature" =" Constant"# at #" constant pressure"#

#V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2#

The initial volume is #V_1=8L#

The initial temperature is #T_1=220^@C+273=493K#

The final temperature is #T_2=360K#

The final volume is

#V_2=T_2/T_1*V_1=360/493*8=5.84L#
