The only general answer that's true in all cases is: Slower than in vacuum.

The exact speed depends on which gas, and the density of the gas, which

in turn depends on its temperature and pressure.

The speed of light in a gas is slightly slower than its speed in a vacuum. This is because light interacts with the particles in the gas, which can slow it down. The exact speed of light in a specific gas will depend on the composition and density of the gas.
