yes, like the other answer said, it would have to take into account the properties of air...because air is not an ideal gas...but using R would still be a pretty good estimate.

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of a set of randomly-moving, non-interacting point particles. The ideal gas concept is useful because it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to analysis under statistical mechanics. An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other. In such a gas, all the internal energy is in the form of kinetic energy and any change in internal energy is accompanied by a change in temperature. An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them may be deduced from kinetic theory and is called the

All gasses take up the same amount of volume if the moles, temp and pressure are kept the same. This is because the particles have little to no bonding, so if the same amount of energy is put into any gas with the above things kept constant it have the same kinetic energy.
However, the constant is different if calculating in different units. If you want the pressure in Pascals, the value of R is 8.314 472
So if PV = nRT, then P = (14*8.314 472*277.3)/3
= 10759.48 pascals.

That requires a composite constant which takes into account the properties of all the constituents of air.
