In[1]:= Assuming[q2 \[Element] Reals,
  Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity}]]

Out[1]= 1

In[3]:= Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity},
  Assumptions -> q2 \[Element] Reals]

Out[3]= 1

In[4]:= Integrate[DiracDelta[p - q2], {p, -Infinity, Infinity},
  GenerateConditions -> False]

Out[4]= 1
