Error during updation [Solved]

Hi, after a long time I update my Arch Linux (using: sudo pacman -Syyu)
unfortunately, after downloading 1GB I am getting this

:: Import PGP key 3B94A80E50A477C7, "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <heftig@archlinux.org>"? [Y/n]

I used to press y and n both , but I am not able to proceed next, please help me

Firstly, don't post pictures of text: post the actual text in code tags.

Also, what do you define as 'a long time'? A month, half a year, over a year?
If you're lucky, you can possibly simply reset Pacman's keyring, and (assuming that your pacman-keyring package is somewhat recent) it should re-import all known keys and disable expired or unused ones.

Update archlinux-keyring first.

I just run -Su command on another cmd and everything is fine now.
