What is their gauge pressure later, when their temperature has dropped to -40.0°C? HINT: Remember to convert temperatures to Kelvin first, and gauge pressure to absolute pressure (just add 1 atm = 1x10^5 N/m2). After that you can use the ideal gas law, but the result will be as an absolute pressure, so subtract back 1 atm before entering the result as a gauge pressure.
