Well, you need starting quantities, which you have not provided....

But #"6 mols"# of #"CO"_2# are produced for every #"1 mol"# of glucose, regardless of what temperature and pressure.

The only thing that changes is volume in a closed container at constant temperature and pressure, and treating #"CO"_2# as an ideal gas,

#V = (nRT)/P#

So for every #"1 mol"# of glucose, you get at most #(6RT)/P# liters of #"CO"_2#, and the actual value changes depending on what values of #T# and #P# you use.

That is all I can say with what you have given me. One cannot predict anything further without starting materials...
