Filter Capacitor Voltage Rating?

FQP13N10-

You don't supply much information. What type of power supply are you
building?

Your capacitors must have a rating as high as the peak voltage feeding
them, plus a safety factor to account for high input voltage.

For example, if your standard line voltage is 120 RMS, you would design
for a possible ten percent variation, 108 to 132.
