The de-Broglie wavelength associated with a particle is given by λ = h / mv 
where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 *  10^{-34} Js
m = mass of the particle
v = velocity/speed of the particle

Hence, v = h / m λ

It is given in the data that:
λ = 0.1 A° = 0.1 *  10^{-10} m = 1 *  10^{-11} m
m = 1.673 *  10^{-27} kg

Substituting these values, we get 
v = ( 6.626 *  10^{-34} ) / (1.673 *  10^{-27} ) * ( 1 *  10^{-11}  )
v = ( 6.626 *  10^{-34} ) / (1.673 *  10^{-38}  )
Shifting the powers of 10 to the numerator, we get
v = ( 6.626 *  10^{38-34} ) / (1.673)
v = ( 6.626 *  10^{4} ) / (1.673)
v = 3.96 *  10^{4}  m/s
v = 39,600 m/s or 39.6 km / s

Therefore, the speed of the proton is approximately 39,600 m/s.
