Fluid mechanics problem concerning an open cylindrical can in a liquid?

You know that p1v1 at atmospheric is the same as p2v2 when the can is submerged to a depth of d. You know that the volume of the can is piR^2 times the height. And you know that the pressure in the water varies with depth d. You need to combine these three facts into an equation that shows how h varies with d.
