According to Figure 1, as a gas is heated, the amount of heat required to maintain a constant increase in its temperature:Answer: increases

Are they referring to heat capacity when they say "the amount of heat required to maintain a constant increase in its temperature"? can some1 please clarify this definition and how this is referring to heat capacity

i think the heat they are talking about initially, is the amount of energy requirements to sustain a constant temprature increase. as far as the graph goes, it seem that they Cp of all the gases are increasing with increased temp which also shows that you need more energy to increase its temp which acts to increase the Cp even more (positive feedback). i hope this helps
