40.31 g*mol^-1

Explanation:

How did I know this? Well, I have access to a Periodic Table, and you should have access to one as well.

The Periodic Table tells us that the molar mass of oxygen is 15.99 g*mol^-1, and the molar mass of magnesium is 24.31 g*mol^-1. Sum these masses to get the molar mass of magnesium oxide.
