The volume should increase, and the balloon should expand........

Old Charles' Law holds that $VpropT$ at constant pressure, and thus $V=kT$ . Solving for $k$ , $V_1/T_1=V_2/T_2$ ......

and thus $V_2=V_1/T_1xxT_2$ , temperature is specified to be on the $"Absolute scale........"$ ;

So $V_2=(10,000*L)/(298*K)xx338*K~=11*m^3$
