For many purposes we can treat nitrogen (N₂) as an ideal gas

For many purposes we can treat nitrogen (N₂) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -196. °C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of nitrogen gas is raised from 90.0 °C to 126.0 °C, and at the same time the pressure is decreased by 15.0%. Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same? If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
