So how many mols did you have to start? That's mols = M x L = 0.120 x 0.245 = 0.0294.
When some of the water has evaporated you know you still have 0.0294 mols there. And the molarity now is 0.348M and not 0.245M. So M = mols/L. M = 0.348; mols = 0.0294. Solve for L of solution and subtract from the starting volume to find how much has evaporated.
You have 120.0 mL of a 0.245 M solution of NaCl in an open beaker. After several days, you
test the solution and find that it now has a concentration of 0.348 M. How much water must
have evaporated from the beaker given the new concentration?

Dear Dr Bob222,
Thank you so much! The answer is 35.5 mL on H2O has evaporated.
