Starting from the formula in the question comment, all you need to do is to multiply by N (the Avogadro number) because that’s the number of molecules in a mole of gas.
So the formula is simply: (3/2) NkT.
As you can see, temperature is the only variable on which the kinetic energy of an ideal gas depends. The kinetic energy is not affected by the mass of the molecules.
The ideal gas law (for one mole of gas) is PV=RT, where R is the ideal gas constant. R=Nk and so you could also write your formula as: (3/2)RT.
