Answer

The energy required would be greater for the process at constant pressure.

Work Step by Step

Since, for an ideal gas, i) at constant volume $Q = mc_v\Delta T$ ii) at constant pressure $Q = mc_p\Delta T$ iii) $c_p=c_v+R_u$ The energy required would be greater for the process at constant pressure.
