In 2001 W. Gosper introduced a constant Pi_{q} and conjectured without proofs many intriguing identities on this constant. In this paper we establish some modular equations of degrees 3 and 5. From these modular equations we confirm two groups of Pi_{q}-identities in Gosper's list. One group involves Pi_{q},Pi_{q^{2}},Pi_{q^{3}} or Pi_{q^{6}} while the other is related to Pi_{q},Pi_{q^{2}},Pi_{q^{5}} or Pi_{q^{10}}.
