Is the following operator a compact operator?

I have to choose whether the following operator
$$fin L^2(mathbb{R})mapstoint_{mathbb{R}}f(x) e^{-x^2} dx$$
is a compact operator. I have tried to use the Cauchy Schwarz inequality
$$langle f, e^{-x^2}rangle leq |f|_{L^2} cdot underbrace{|e^{-x^2}|_{L^2}}_{leqpi} leqpicdot|f|_{L^2} $$
but how can I identify the compactness of an operator?

Any continuous linear map into a finite dimensional vector space is necessarily compact.

$T:Xto Y$ is compact if it sends bounded sets to relatively compact sets. Your operator $T:L^2tomathbb R$ sends bounded sets to bounded sets (because of Cauchy-Schwarz), but bounded sets in $mathbb R$ are relatively compact, so the operator is compact.
