Since the 365 days of the year have 52 weeks

that means that the year have 52 mondays

so the chance in 365 days of being a monday is

52/365

and

52/365= 1/7

then the answer is 1/7

other way of looking at this problem is by thinking that every day of the week have the same change of being celebrete on new year

since we have 7 days in a week, that represents a chance of

1/7
