V1/T1 = V2/T2 ; Charles law
 
V1 = V2*T1/T2
 
V1 = 53 * (-24 + 273)/(153+273); note that it is always necessary to change C to K; (K = C + 273) when calculating using the gas laws
 
therefore V1 = 53 * 249/446 = 29.6 mL

Michael,
 
Please double check the temperature in the denominator of your last equation.  (426 K instead of 446 K, giving a final answer of 31.0 mL ?)
