Its only asking for the mass of the compound P2O5. Basically add the elements' molar mass.

Molar mass of Phosphorus: 30.97
Molar Mass of Oxygen: 16

There is 2 atoms of phosphorus, so you multiply its mass by 2. 30.97 x 2
There is 5 atoms of oxygen, so you multiply its mass by 5. 16 x 5
Then add both masses.

The answer is 141.94g/mol P2O5
