Dear student
 

The pressure at the bottom of the lake is = The pressure due to hte air + The pressure due to the water column=P1

The pressure at the top is only the atmosphereic pressure=P2 Initial Vol=V1 and final Vol is =V2 

NOW YOU HAVEN'T MENTIONED ABOUT THE TEMP SO I AM CONSIDERING IT TO BE CONSTANT

So from gas eq we get P1V1=P2V2
V2=2V1 

Putting the values in the eq 1 we get,

H=10 meter
