The wires are of same material, equal lengths and diameters. Hence, the resistance of both wires is same, say R.
 
When they are connected in series:
The voltage across each is V/2 and current is I.
Thus, total heat produced is;
 
 
When they are connected in parallel:
The voltage across them is V and current is I/2
Thus, the heat produced is;
 
 
Thus, the ratio of heat in series and parallel is;
Hs/Hp = 1
