Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{112 kPa}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We can use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures:

Each gas in a mixture of gases equals its pressure separately from the other gases.

[tex]p_{\text{total}} = p_{\text{O}_{2}} + p_{\text{Cl}_{2}} = \text{52 kPa + 60 kPa} =\textbf{112 kPa}\\\\\text{The total pressure inside the container is $\large \boxed{\textbf{112 kPa}}$}[/tex]
