As we learnt in 

Kinetic Theory of Gases -

They collide with each other and with the wall of the container. Pressure is exerted by the gas as a result of collision of the particles with the walls of the container.

-

 

\frac{E_{He}}{E_{H_{2}}}= \sqrt{\frac{T_{He}}{T_{H_{2}}}}          

so energies will be same for He and H2 at same temperature.
