Coulomb screening and excitation spectra of electrons in a graphene layer with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is studied in the random phase approximation. The SOI opens a gap between the valence and conduction bands of the semi-metal Dirac system and reshapes the bottom and top of the bands. As a result, we have observed a dramatic change in the long-wavelength dielectric function of the system. An undamped plasmon mode emerges from the inter-band electron-hole excitation continuum edge and vanishes or merges with a Landau damped mode on the edge of the intra-band electron-hole continuum. The characteristic collective excitation of the Dirac gas is recovered in a system with high carrier density or for a large wave vector.
