As the capacitors are identical, each of them finally have charge \mathrm{\frac{Q}{2}}

Initial energy of the system = \mathrm{E_i=\frac{Q^2}{2 C}}
Final energy of the system \mathrm{=E_f=2\left[\frac{\left(Q / 2^2\right)}{2 C}\right]=\frac{Q^2}{4 C} }

Heat produced = loss in energy = \mathrm{E_i=E_f=\frac{Q^2}{4 C}}
