You are given V1, T1 and V2 and are asked to solve for T2. Convert temp to Kelvin (add 273 to degrees C) and plug the values into the equation V1/T1 = V2/T2 and solve for T2.

23 + 273 = 296
1.16/296 = 1.25/T2
T2 = (1.25)(296)/1.16
T2 = 319K

Why would you add 273?

T is always in Kelvin. To go from C to K, you add 273. Read about it.
