Answer:
2.88 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the pressure for a volume of 50 cc when the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume, and the pressure is 6 pounds at a volume of 24 cc.
Variation
When the volume increases from 24 cc to 50 cc, the pressure changes by the inverse of that factor:
(6 pounds) × (24 cc)/(50 cc) = 2.88 pounds
When the volume is 50 cubic centimeters, the pressure is 2.88 pounds.

Additional comment
Pressure usually has units of force per area, pounds per square inch or square foot, for example. The area units are not specified here, so we must assume the force is that applied to some specific constant area.
