The sequence of mRNA will be 5'-AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC-3'.

Explanation: In a RNA strand thymine is replaced with uracil. The coding strand of mRNA is the same as that of DNA with the only difference being uracil instead of thymine. If the coding strand is 5'-ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC-3' then the mRNA sequence will be 5'-AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC-3'.
