Question 6. I wrote variant A 

But not sure about Variant B and the determination of change.

6. A storage vessel of some 30 m3 fixed capacity (not a "floating head" tank,
where vessel top can rise and fall) holds nitrogen gas at a temperature of 300
K and a pressure of 2 x 105 N/m2 (200 kN/m2) calculate the following:
a) The mass of gas within the tank.
b) As a result of a fire outside the tank, the temperature inside rises to
400 K.
Determine whether the volume or the pressure of the gas will change and then
calculate the magnitude (size) of the change.
