Derive the differential equation for the current/voltage across the capacitor when it's charging, using Kirchoff's Voltage Law, and solve.

Or if you're allowed to, just look up the solution of this equation, which should be in the form $$V_c (t) = V_o (1 - e^{-t/\tau})$$ where $$\tau$$ is the time constant $$RC$$. You can then plug in your known values of $$V_c$$ to solve for the capacitance.
