Answer

No, that statement is incorrect.

Work Step by Step

Ideal monatomic gases have the same molar heat capacity. However, one gram of different gases would contain a different number of gas atoms, i.e., there would be different molar amounts. Therefore it would take different amounts of heat to raise the temperatures of the various 1.0 g samples by 1.0 K.
