It's very close, and it is grammatical. However, the American English way of asking this question would be,

What's the right answer to number 37?

I'd also argue that the context indicates that you're asking about a question, so there isn't a need to use the word question in your question. It is perfectly acceptable shorthand to use "number" to refer to a question on a numbered exam.
