As Volker said, I think normalize will do the trick. It can normalize a batch of sound files so their volume level is the same. I would, however, suggest you decompress the MP3 into a lossless file, that way you aren't re-encoding and reducing sound quality further. Also, your video editing software may be able to adjust the volume of the individual audio tracks. Kdenlive, for example, has a normalize audio track filter.
