So using the definition of periodic function which is there exist $p \neq 0$ such that $f(x+p) = f(x)$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$. I know that I only need to prove on the interval $[a,b]$ which other part of the function just repeats what it looks like on the interval $[a,b]$. Where do I go from here?

Are you familiar with the Extreme Value Theorem? That should help you show that it is bounded. – user35959 Dec 12 '12 at 03:42

The image of a compact set through a continuous function is compact :) – madprob Dec 12 '12 at 04:52

The map from R to R factor through circle. As continuous functions on compact set have the two properties, so do periodic functions. – lee Dec 12 '12 at 05:02
