          7za u -mx -mhe -pPASSWORD ARCHIVE-FILE-NAME.7Z SOURCE-FILE-SPEC


          Any time you use the .7z format, the file is AES-256 encrypted.

          To make the answer simple just use the switch
          ( -p ) which means Set Password with the default encryption which is AES



          example:  7z a -p Zip_File_Name File_2_zip.txt


          7zip will encrypt the file or folder and prompt for a password.



          or use



          example 7z a -pPassword Zip_File_Name.7z File_2_Zip.txt


          This example will auto add the password to the file for you.



          The other switches used above are



          7z a -p -mhe=on Zip_File_Name.7z File_2_Zip.txt

          -pPassword == Auto add password without being prompted
          -mhe=on == Means to encrypt the file names in archive too.
