A nearly flat bicycle tire becomes noticeably warmer after it has been pumped up. Approximate this process

Question:

A nearly flat bicycle tire becomes noticeably warmer after it has been pumped up. Approximate this process as a reversible adiabatic compression. Assume the initial pressure and temperature of the air before it is put in the tire to be Pi = 1.00 bar and Ti = 280.K. The final pressure in the tire is Pf = 3.75 bar. Calculate the final temperature of the air in the tire. Assume that CV ,m = 5/2R.
