A sample of nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel at 40c and 200 Torr..?

A Sample of nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel @40 C and 200 Torr. If the vessel (volume is held constant) is warmed to 50 C what is the resulting pressure? - How would I go about figuring this out?

Also, I have a similar problem which is:

A sample of Nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel at 40 C and 200 Torr. If the vessel is expanded to 825mL (at constant temperature), what is the resulting pressure?

I was shown how to do these problems with an example, which covered both V change and T change. I cannot figure out how to do the problem with just one of them and not both..

I hope this question isnt too confusing, and I greatly appreciate any help I can get! Thank you so much :)

    We use Charles' law

    p1 / T1 = p2 / T2

    T2 = 50 + 273 = 323 K

    T1 = 40 + 273 = 313

    750 / 313 = p2 / 323

    p2 = 774 torr

    2nd question

    we use Boyle's law

    p1V1 = p2 V2

    200 x 750 = p2 x 825

    p2 = 181,8 torr

    1st question

    using gay-lusaac's law

    p1/t1=p2/t2

    *t1 & t2 in Kelvin

    t1=40+273=313

    t2=50+273=314

    p1=200

    200/313=p2/314

    p2=200.639 torr

    2ND

    using boyle's law

    p1*v1=p2*v2

    200*750=825(p2)

    p2=181.82 torr
