So, u can setup the matrix A, where the columns are the vectors given.
A=[121303021]
The volume of the parallelepiped is equal to the absolute value of the determinant of A.
Volume =|det(A)|
And lets calculate the determinant. Expanding along the first column gives us to shown computation.
A=|121303021|=|0321|3|2121|+0|2103|=612=18
Now, we know that the volume of the parallelepiped is 18.
Results: Volume is 18.
