I can’t see the diagram — could you upload the picture or tell me the corresponding edge lengths (or the small prism’s volume and the scale factor)?

A hint in the meantime: for similar 3‑D figures the volumes scale by the cube of the linear scale factor. Also the answer must have units of m^3 (not m^2). If, for example, the linear scale factor is 2 and the small prism’s volume is 18 m^3, the larger prism’s volume would be 18·2^3 = 144 m^3.
