We use Boyle's law: gas volume is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temperature (and constant amount of gas). The answer should be approx. 100 mL.

Explanation:

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2.

V_2 = (P_1V_1)/P_2 = ((1.08*cancel(atm))(145.7*mL))/(1.43*cancel(atm)) = ???mL

Reasonably, the volume SHOULD decrease.
