Since pressure x volume remains constant, then:
600 x 500=300000
300000/1500=200 K as the final temperature. ☺☺☺☺

Apply the "Ideal gas Law".

See this Wikipedia article

   The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. 
   It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. 
   It was first stated by Émile Clapeyron in 1834 as a combination of the empirical Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's Law.
   The ideal gas law is often written as:

    = 

   where:

   P is the pressure of the gas,
   V is the volume of the gas,
   n is the amount of substance of gas (in moles),
   R is the ideal, or universal, gas constant, equal to the product of the Boltzmann constant and the Avogadro constant,
   T is the absolute temperature of the gas.

For two states of your gas

 =    and 

 = .

Now divide left sides and right sides. You will get

 = .

Hence,  =  =  = 200 K.
