You probably already know that the published flammability characteristics of ethanol at ambient conditions are:
flash point: ~13oC,
LFL in air: 3.3%,
UFL in air: 19%,
AIT: ~423oC.

For other pressures will the good old pv=nrt formula suffice?
As in "pressure x volume = mol x const x abs. temperature"
