Hlo sir….from x ray i can say that your cavity is deep and that’s why its quite close to the pulp and anyway u will have to go for rct in near future if u will go for temporary filling.
Its better to treat it appropriately now only.
It might be possible if u will go for filling there are chances of pulp exposure during cavity preparation and anyway u will need rct to be done.
So better to go for rct and save yourself from unnecessary trouble.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and get rct done and crown placement done.

From this x ray,the molar appears to have a fairly deep cavity close to the pulp,but the x ray alone cannot tell whether the nerve is irreversibly inflamed.
Next Steps
wait for 15 to 20 days but if there is spontaneous pain, pain on biting/ percussion, pain lingers after cold/heat than you are advised to undergo a root canal treatment.
Health Tips
you can go ahead with the deep restoration if everything remains fine for 15 days.
