I can imagine putting a 1 L container inside a 2 L container, sealing it up with rubber gaskets with a stopcock on the 1 L container that has a handle on it leading to the outside of the 2 L container. Then you could open it allowing the gas to fill the 2L container. Something like this:

Or maybe even simpler, having two 1 L containers, one on top of the other, with a stopcock in between them.Put gas in the top one and a vacuum in the bottom one, then screw them together onto the stopcock and then opening it to allow the gas to fill both. The gas would start in a 1 L container and then go into a "2 L container" (the two 1 L's would make a 2 L).
