The correct answer is: 700 J

According to the first law of thermodynamics, heat given to a system is equal to the work done by the gas plus change in internal energy. Therefore,

Q=U+W

Work done for isobaric process is given by, 

W=nRTnRT=200 J

Heat given in isobaric process will be,

Q=nCPT=72nRTQ=700 J
