For example, if you want to set all paragraphs to a font weight of bold, you could use:

p { 
font-weight: bold;
}

mikes02 answer is one way to do it; if you want to everything in the paragraph ("<p>") bold. If you just want one word bold on you site consider using 

<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.<strong>the word that need to be bold</strong> Vestibulum non vehicula neque. Vivamus lobortis rutrum ipsum, vitae euismod erat. Donec sem elit, cursus vitae convallis luctus, consequat et ante. Suspendisse urna orci, congue ornare sem in, euismod ornare arcu.</p>

You can use less or more "bold" in you css, by using the following code:

p{
 font-weight:800; // where 800 is a number in the range of 100 <> 900
}

On a single rule like in the example a semicolon is not necessary, although if you prefer to have one you can do so without any issue.
