Physics: Temperature
[ A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 22.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00°C, its volume is 1.10 cm3. What is the bubble's volume (in cm3) just before it hits the ocean surface, where the temperature is 20.0°C? Assume the average density of sea water is 1,025 kg/m3. ]
May I ask for some help in setting this problem up and what equations I should use, please? I have not been taught fluid dynamics, and that is not being taught in the current chapter, so I am not sure how to relate the depth and density to the gas law parts.
Also, is it correct to assume I'll be using PV = nRT in this problem, and/or some variation of P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2?

What is the order of magnitude of the statue's increase in height? (a) 0.1 mm (b) 1 mm (c) 1 cm (d) 10 cm (e) 1 ml
