This problem can be solved using the Combined Gas Law, which relates pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas. According to the law, when the volume and amount of gas are constant,
(P1)(V1)/(T1) = (P2)(V2)/(T2)
where P1 and T1 are the initial pressure and temperature, and P2 and T2 are the final pressure and temperature.
Plugging in the given values, we get
(5.00 atm)(1)/(284 K) = (P2)(1)/(299 K)
Solving for P2, we get P2 = 5.63 atm.
Therefore, the answer is B, 5.63 atm.
