When the piston goes down, it causes a vacuum - a volume of space in which the gaseous pressure is much less than standard atmospheric pressure. That would lead me to guess that the answer is #3 because when the valve opens the air would be pushed into the vacuum at a pressure of 14.7 lbs per square inch.
