Am I supposed to use this equation to find internal energy of a system that's at constant pressure?
Thanks
delta U = delta H - P delta V

Re: delta U = delta H - P delta V
yes!
the change in internal energy (delta U) is usually calculated as heat (q) + work (w), but at constant pressure, q = delta H and w = -P(deltaV)

So when P is not constant we go back to delta U= q +w?

How would this change for a constant volume set up? Is delta U no longer equal to qp in that scenario?
