Gay-Lussac's Law deals with pressure and temperature.

#P_1/T_1 = P_2/T_2#

If we rearrange and get #T_2# by itself, we get

#T_2= (P_2T_1)/ P_1#

Since temperature needs to be in Kelvin for all gas law calculations, #T_1# = 298. That gives us the following

#T_2= (16 * 298)/ 15#

That answer = 317.866666666666667
