physics/thermodynamics question

Not a trick question -

What's the ratio of air mass between a fixed volume of air at STP and an identical fixed volume of air pressurized to 2 bar gauge, stabilized to the same ambient temperature? I figure there's 3 times as much air by mass in the pressurized container based on the ideal gas law. What's the proper way to go about this?

Thanks,
Sixto
