Absolute pressure = Gauge pressure - atmospheric pressure.

"T_1=90F =\\frac{(90-32)*5}{9}+273=305 K"

"P_1=50 psig =(50+14.5) = 64.5 psi absolute"

"T_2=150F =\\frac{(150-32)*5}{9}+273=338.7 K"

"\\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\\frac{P_2}{T_2}\n\\implies P_2=\\frac{P_1*T_2}{T_1}"

"P_2=\\frac{338.7*64.5}{305.4}=71.53 abs=71.53 psia"
