If you have a balloon covering a flask of air at 1 atm and you heat until the balloon volume is the same as the flask, which has more air, the balloon or the flask? Which has greater pressure? Or are they the same?

The first response to your question is accurate.
However, if it is a trick question, maybe you have to consider that the balloon is likely to be somewhat cooler than the flask. If that is the case, then they will be at the same pressure, but there will be more molecules in the balloon (since at a lower temperature it takes more molecules to produce the same pressure).

If the balloon is the same size as the flask then they both contain the same amount of air. They both have the same pressure since they are both in the same closed system.
