Answer

The period of the graph will be $4$.

Work Step by Step

The given graph shows the function of: $y=\cos{\frac{\pi}{2}{x}}$ As shown in the cosine graph, the period of the $\cos{x}$ graph is $2\pi$ The graph of $\cos{x}$ is compressed by $\frac{\pi}{2}$, so the new period is: $\frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{2}}=4$
