When travelling, just travel with both your expired passport which contains the valid visa, as well as your new passport! People do it all the time! You should be ok.

Rozen is right - my wife has been travelling with two passports for two or three years now, and we have little inclination to change this - given that our beloved UKVisas charge heavily for a 'Transfer of Conditions' i.e. copying the visa in to the new passport.
