A cylinder having a piston restrained by a linear spring contains 0.5 kg of saturated vapor water

Question:

A cylinder having a piston restrained by a linear spring contains 0.5 kg of saturated vapor water at 120C. Heat is transferred to the water, causing the piston to rise, and with a spring constant of 15 kN/m, piston cross-sectional area 0.05 m2, the pressure varies linearly with volume until a final pressure of 500 kPa is reached. Find the final temperature in the cylinder and the heat transfer for the process.
