Hi curiousM! Welcome to PF!

This is PV = RT question.

Just ask yourself … which of P V and T are given, for the important time?

The important time in this case is immediately after the container is opened. How much air at the temperature of boiling water can the container hold?

And how much was actually inside?

So how much must escape?
