that is \int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_x^{\sqrt{\pi}} \sin(y^2) ~dy ~dx

Reverse the order of the integrals (which is possible since the integrand is positive) :
0\leq x\leq y\leq \sqrt{\pi} \Rightarrow y ranges from 0 to \sqrt{\pi}

0\leq x\leq y\leq \sqrt{\pi} \Rightarrow x varies from 0 to y.

So the integral is now :

\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\left(\int_0^y \sin(y^2) ~dx\right)~dy

=\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\left(\sin(y^2)\int_0^y dx\right)~dy

Because you changed the order of integration, you don't have to compute the integral of sin(y^2) but rather y*sin(y^2), which can be done by a simple substitution.
