Suppose the pressure exerted by the hydrogen and ethene gas be p at equilibrium. 

the given reaction is-

                                    C_{2}H_{6}_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons C_{2}H_{4}_{(g)}+H_{2}_{(g)}
initial pressure                  4 atm              0                     0
At equilibrium                  4 - p                 p                    p

Now, 
K_p = p_{C_2H_4}\times p_{H_2}/p_{C_2H_6}
         0.04 = \frac{p^2}{4-p}

By solving the quadratic equation we can get the value of  p = 0.38

Hence,at equilibrium,

p_{C_2H_6} =  4  - p  = 4 -.038

= 3.62 atm
