Because in constant pressure the given heat energy is used for keeping volume as constant as well as it does some external work also
But in constant volume the heat energy is used to do the work thats it
Hope it helps uh

Answer:
In Cv heat supplied is used only to increase the internal energy .But in Cp , the heat supplied is used to increase Internal energy and also doing external work during expansion. Since the rise in temperature is same in both cases , the increase in internal energy remains the same .Hence Cp is greater than Cv.
