What will be pressure on the Venus?

According to this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus

most of the atmosphere on venus is carbon dioxide.

Cooling it to roughly the temperature of the Earth wouldn't stop it being a gas.

So essentially all that gas would still be there. On average it would move closer to the surface so it would be attracted more by gravity (but not much).

On the whole, I don't think it would make much difference to the pressure.

It certainly wouldn't be anything like the pressure here on Earth.

That would aprroximately keep the pressure at ground level as said JC, or 92 bar

cooling to mean 288K would bring CO2 to the limit of gas and liquid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide , especially

so CO2 would be gaseous at altitude, with some liquid existing near the ground locally in colder regions. These seas could not preempt all the gas, whose pressure is needed to keep some liquid.

 

I have no suggestion for a practical method.
