Because difference is one one of the term is even and other is odd . So either p or q (being prime) is 2.
Let p = 2
so $2^q-q^2$, $q =3$ gives $-1$,$ q = 5$ gives $7$ and this keeps going increasing so no solution
Now let us check with $q = 2$
So $ p^2 -2^p$ $p =3$ satisfies$ p = 5$ gives $-7$ and larger p gives smaller value decreasing so no more solution
So only solution $p =3, q = 2$
