Recently co-existence of the ferromagnetism and superconductivity was reported in the high-pressure region (1.0-1.6 GPa) in UGe$_2$. We performed the heat capacity measurement on UGe$_2$ under high pressure. At 1.13 GPa, we found a peak corresponding to the superconducting transition. The superconducting temperature $T_{SC}$ and ${\it\Delta} C/(\gamma T_{SC})$ are 0.6 K and 0.25, respectively. The superconducting transition was also confirmed by the appearance of the Meissner effect in the {\it ac} susceptibility. From these results, we confirm a bulk nature of the superconductivity in UGe$_2$. The value of $C/T$ ($\sim$ 95 mJ/moleK$^2$) just above $T_{SC}$ at 1.15 GPa is as much as 3 times larger than that at ambient pressure, which indicates a large mass enhancement of quasiparticles under high pressure.
