 Solution

If the ideal-chain segment count and segment length remain fixed, the entropic spring constant is proportional to absolute temperature. ThereforeThis is an increase by about $11.7\%$. The factor $k_{B}T$ multiplies the free energy penalty for the loss of chain configurations; a larger force is required to impose the same normalized weak extension at higher temperature.

Not degrading does not guarantee that a real protein's folded state, effective spring constant or solvent interactions remain unchanged. Thermal unfolding and changes in persistence length can occur without covalent degradation. Those changes modify the experimental curve and may invalidate a fixed-$N,b$ comparison. The boxed value is the explicit ideal-FJC prediction under fixed segment geometry, not an unconditional thermal-stability prediction for the protein.
