There isnt really a set formula for valuing a new ICO but lots of things will be taken into consideration such as the potential market, the service or product the token can provide, the current market conditions, comparable tokens and lots more, projected supply and take up and loads more - in simple terms I have no idea what they will come up with:-)
but based on the fact that the presale raised USD5m for 20% at the PEN presale IE 40,000,000 PEN tokens that would value a PEN token then (before anything had been developed) at USD 0.125 so I think it is safe to assume the ICO should be higher than that.
One word of warning here. The current crypto space, whilst starting to move again is not conducive to high valuations so I wouldnt be expecting a huge market cap from the off. But if a project gains traction and highly utilised it is not unusual to see a X50-100 growth over time (needs a bull market and a successful project)
