How can one calculate the boiling of a liquid at a pressure different from standard temperature?

Am trying to do it using the ideal gas equation,

(PV)/T=(P'V')/T'
Where P is the STP, V is 22.4l, T= boiling point at STP, P'= new pressure, V' is the new volume and T' is to be found. But is it easy to find V'.

But I found another equation of Clausius-Clapeyton which involves the heat of vaporisation. Using this equation, the problem is finding the heat of vaporisation. Can anyone help me?

The ideal gas law is the wrong equation to use (since it has nothing to do with vapor-liquid equilibrium) but the Clausius-Clapeyron equation is the correct equation to use (since it is derived by specifically focusing on vapor-liquid equilibrium thermodynamics).
