The correct answer is: $6 \mathrm{~atm}$
Ideal gas equation
$$
\begin{array}{c}
p V=n R T \\
\frac{p V}{T}=n R=\frac{m}{M} R \\
\frac{m}{M} R=\frac{10 \times V}{300} \\
\frac{m}{2 M} R=\frac{p V}{360}
\end{array}
$$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{p V}{360} &=\frac{1}{2} \frac{10 \mathrm{~V}}{300} \\
p &=\frac{3600}{2 \times 300}=6 \mathrm{~atm}
\end{aligned}
$$
