I suppose you're using version 6?
If so, Print solves the problem:
ClearAll["Global`*"];
$TextStyle = {FontFamily -> "Arial", FontSize -> 12,
FontSlant -> "Italic"};
Do[mysol[w] =
NDSolve[{x'[t] == -y[t] - x[t]^2, y'[t] == w x[t] - y[t]^3,
x[0] == y[0] == 1}, {x, y}, {t, 20}];
Print@Plot[{Evaluate[x[t] /. mysol[w]],
Evaluate[y[t] /. mysol[w]]}, {t, 0, 20}], {w, 2, 4}]
But I'd probably do it more like this:
Clear[mysol]
mysol[w_?NumericQ] :=
Module[{x, y},
NDSolve[{x'[t] == -y[t] - x[t]^2, y'[t] == w x[t] - y[t]^3,
x[0] == y[0] == 1}, {x, y}, {t, 20}][[1, All, -1]]];
Block[{$TextStyle = {FontFamily -> "Arial", FontSize -> 12,
FontSlant -> "Italic"}},
GraphicsColumn@
Table[{x, y} = mysol[w]; Plot[{x[t], y[t]}, {t, 0, 20}], {w, 2, 4}]=
]
