Answer

$3\times10^{5}Pa$

Work Step by Step

Here we use equations 15.2 $W=P\Delta V$ and 15.1 $Q=\Delta U+W$ to find the pressure. $W=P\Delta V=>P=\frac{W}{\Delta V}-(1)$ $Q=\Delta U+W=>W=Q-\Delta U-(2)$ (2)=>(1), $$P=\frac{Q-\Delta U}{\Delta V}$$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $P=\frac{1500\space J-(+4500\space J)}{-0.01\space m^{3}}=3\times10^{5}Pa$ (Pressure of the system)
