There is tyre pressure guidance in the wiki at the top of the page.

Use the pressures given on your plate.

As I see it
The mass is the same
The volume is maybe only slightly lower as the tyre is wider.
temperature is faily constant
We're into Boyles law territory.

All vans have different weights. However, as a guide, the factory sticker/plate on my (heavy) Westy recommends 39psi on the fronts and 48psi on the rears, for 185 R 14 C PR tyres.

If you want to get tyre pressures absolutely right, use the chalk method. Search for chalk and tyre pressures on youtube.
