Answer

According to Table 25-1, we should use Pyrex.

Work Step by Step

We can find the required capacitance: $\frac{1}{2}CV^2 = U$ $C = \frac{2U}{V^2}$ $C = \frac{(2)(7.4\times 10^{-6}~J)}{(652~V)^2}$ $C = 34.815\times 10^{-12}~F$ We can find the required dielectric constant of the material: $\kappa = \frac{34.815\times 10^{-12}~F}{7.4~\times 10^{-12}~F} = 4.7$ According to Table 25-1, we should use Pyrex.
