Answer

(c) 1830 psi

Work Step by Step

The gas is cooled at constant volume, the formula becomes $\frac{p_1}{T_1} = \frac{p_2}{T_2}$ $(T_2) \frac{p_1}{T_1} = p_2$ $ p_2 = (268K) \frac{2000 psi}{293 K}$ $ p_2 = 1829.4 psi$. This makes choice (c) the right answer as we round it off to nearest ten, which is $1830 psi$
