shumona,
i agree with dr. T. stop one f-stop down. but it will depend on how many exposures you want.
so you could stop down a half stop. as well, the film speed (ISO/ASA) is important.
slower film is much more forgiving and may give you good results. be sure to obtain
a good light metre reading as well, even if the area is dimly lit.
