How does one go about calculating the change in P from the following data/variables: (assuming all the required energy comes from stored thermal energy in the mantle)

Complete melting = 420 J/g

Specific heat: J/g K

Temperature: an assumption of a 9C temperature drop for every kbar of decompression above the mantle solidus

Partial melt value / final residue: 0.451
