The molar specific heat capacity is defined as \mathrm{C}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{n} \Delta \mathrm{T}}

 since the change in internal energy is same for both the process & the work done in path 1 is greater than that in path 2, therefore the heat absorbed by the gas in path 1 is greater than that in path 2.

\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}>1, \quad \& \Delta \mathrm{T}_{1}=\Delta \mathrm{T}_{2}
\therefore \frac{\mathrm{C}_{1}}{\mathrm{C}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{\mathrm{Q}_{2}} / \frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{1}}{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{1}}{\mathrm{Q}_{2}}>1
\therefore(\mathrm{C})
