Note
* denotes multiplication
^ denotes power

Volume=V= 400 L
No of moles=n= 0.25 mol
Temperature= T= 4 C= 277.15 K =273.15+4

Ideal gas Law is PV=nRT
or P=nRT/V
R= Gas constant= 0.082058 L.atm.mol ^-1K ^-1
Therefore
P=Pressure= 0.0142140 atm =(0.25*0.082058*277.15)/400

Thus the calculation of pressure of Helium is correct

In a mixture of two ...
