Answer

${\bf 81}\;\rm mT$

Work Step by Step

We know that Hall voltage is given by $$\Delta V_{\rm H}=\dfrac{IB}{tne}$$ Let's assume that the only changed thing in the second conductor is the magnetic filed strength that causes a change in the Hall voltage. In other words, the two conductors are having the same $t$, $n$, $e$, and $I$. Thus, $$\dfrac{(\Delta V_{\rm H})_1}{(\Delta V_{\rm H})_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$$ Hence, $$B_2=B_1\left[\dfrac{(\Delta V_{\rm H})_2}{(\Delta V_{\rm H})_1}\right]$$ Plug the known; $$B_2=(55\rm\; m)\left[\dfrac{2.8\mu}{1.9\mu}\right]$$ $$B_2=\color{red}{\bf 81}\;\rm mT$$
