Using the combined gas law equation:

(P1 * V1) / (T1) = (P2 * V2) / (T2)

where P1 = P2 = 2 atm, V1 = 32.6 L, T1 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K, and T2 = 54°C + 273.15 = 327.15 K.

Solving for V2:

(2 atm * 32.6 L) / (300.15 K) = (2 atm * V2) / (327.15 K)

V2 = (2 atm * 32.6 L * 327.15 K) / (300.15 K * 2 atm) = 35.5 L

Therefore, the volume of the gas at the new temperature is 35.5 L. The answer is D.
