According to the question

The reaction is happening at constant temperature and at constant volume

Now

First writing the balance chemical equation

CO2(g)+C(s)=====>2Co(g)

Initially partial pressure of cO2=0. 5atm

====> Pco2=0. 5 atm

And

Initially partial pressure of Co =0 atm

According to the question

Some of CO2 is converted into Co

Therefore let converted CO2 be x

Now

At equilibrium

Partial pressure of CO2=(0. 5-x) atm

Partial pressure of Co=2x atm

Total pressure is given at 0. 8 atm

Pt=0. 8 atm

Now

Pt=Pco2+Pco

0. 8=(0. 5-x)+2x

 \bf \red{0.8 = 0.5 - x + 2x} \\  \\ \bf \red{0.8 - 0.5 = x} \\  \\ \bf \red{x = 0.3 \: atm}

Now

Partial pressure of CO2=(0. 5-x)=(0. 5-0. 3)=0. 2

==> Pco2=0. 2 atm

Partial pressure of Co=2x=2×0. 3=0. 6 atm

Pco=0. 6 atm

Now

Before writing the expression for equilibrium constant(Kp )we have to keep in mind that solids are not added in expression.

 \bf \red{Kp =  \frac{[CO]^{2} }{[CO2]} } \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp= \frac{ {(0.6)}^{2} }{0.2} } \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp =  \frac{0.36}{0.2} } \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp= \frac{0.36 \times 100}{0.2 \times 100}}  \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp= \frac{ \cancel{36}}{ \cancel{20}} } \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp= \frac{9}{5} } \\  \\  \bf \red{Kp= 1.8 \: atm}
