Unless your term paper professor says 2 spaces, use 1 space after the period or question mark. The consensus of editors (and the AP Style Guide) say 1 space.

For monospaced typewriter fonts, typists once used 2 spaces to make the break between sentences clearer. However, except for Courier font, these all disappeared over 40 years ago. No typographer since that time has recommended 2 spaces. It is, however, still acceptable on some kinds of typed drafts, which are not intended for transcription.
