Take whatever it weighs (gvw if you don’t know actual) divide it by 4, look up the pressure for that weight on a chart.
Or go max pressure for the tires on it assuming they’re the proper ones for the trailer, if you’re not willing to look it up.
That said, just run them at the max for the tires. They will run cooler and be more resistant to sway. You may sacrifice a little tread wear. But that is not important as most TT tires age out long before the tread is gone. ST tires need all the help they can get to make it that long.
