The amount (weight) of the air has nothing to do with it. Either dew forms or it doesn't. You need a psychrometric chart to answer the question. There are numerous online sites to help you with a chart or a computational tool.
Using http://www.csgnetwork.com/dewptrelhumcalc.html
and using Fahrenheit temperatures for the wet and dry bulb temps (which is unfortunately required at that site) , I get 3.77 C for the dew point.
