According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, when pressure and mole number are constant, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (V/T=constant). Therefore, if the absolute temperature triples (i.e., increases by a factor of 3), the volume will also increase by a factor of 3, making the answer C) 3.0.
