The pressure of the container can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation

PV = nRT

where P - pressure

V - volume - 4.72 L

n - number of moles - 0.023 mol

R - universal gas constant - 0.0821 L. atm / mol. K

T - temperature in kelvin - 105 °C + 273 = 378 K

substituting the values in the equation

P x 4.72 L = 0.023 mol x 0.0821 L. atm / mol. K x 378 K

P = 0.151 atm

pressure is 0.151 atm
