According to first law of thermodynamics 
ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW
Where, ΔQ=quantity of heat energy supplied to the system.
ΔU=change in the internal energy of a closed system.
And ΔW= work done by the system on its surroundings.
As per question no work is done
ΔW=0

From Eqs (i) and (ii) we get 

ΔQ=0+ΔUΔQ=ΔUΔQ=ΔU=nCVΔT

Or Where, CV = specific heat capacity at constant 
volume for diatomic gas =5R2ΔT=change in temperature 
ΔQ=nCVΔT

=(500)=50C

n= number of moles =4

=4×5R2×(50)=500R=500R
