Solution

Cp is "Specific Heat in constant pressure".This means it is the amount of heat required to increase temperature by 1 dgree celcius, when heat is given at constant pressure.
Cv is "Specific heat in constant volume". This means it is the amount of heat required to increase temperature by 1 dgree celcius, when heat is given at constant volume.
