The mass of the Helium m = 0.040 g

The initial temperature of the container is T = 100ºC
The molecular mass of the helium is MHe = 4 g
The internal energy of the gas molecules:
U=32nRt
=32×mM×RT 
According to the question
32×mM×RT+12=32×mM×RT
⇒ 1.5 × 0.01 × 8.3 × 373 = 12 = 1.5 × 0.01 × 8.3 × T
T=58.43850.1245

= 469.3855 K = 196.3ºC ≈ 196ºC
