A super hero punches a wall with a force of 200 N. What force must the wall exert to withstand this pressure and not be destroyed?

I am no phsics guy(I have never taken it actually), but i think i know this one. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is newtons third law. This means that unless an object is able to produce an equal reaction in the opposite direction it will be moved. This therefore means that the wall has to exert 200N as well back at the superhero inorder to maintain its state of motionlessness. I hope this may have answered the question. But do not take my word for it.
