According to Boyle's Law, P1V1 = P2V2. We can use this formula to solve the problem. 
P1 = 565 torr, V1 = 24.0 L, V2 = 16.0 L
P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2
P2 = (565 torr * 24.0 L) / 16.0 L
P2 = 848 torr
Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is 848 torr. So, the correct choice is C.

The Gas with an Initial Volume of 24
