Consider one mole of an ideal gas enclosed in a cylinder fitted with the movable frictionless piston.
Let the gas be heated at constant volume.

CpdT = Cv x dT + RdT
On supplying dQ amount of heat, let the temperature of the gas increase by dT.
By first law of thermodynamics,
dQ = dU + dW = dU + PdV
At a constant pressure,
P.dV = R.dT
where Cp, Cv and R are in same units.
Hence, proved.
