Can you give example on input and desired output.

You need to provide more details (i.e. how are the property files named), but after consulting my crystal ball try this (you need to define the filespec for identifying the files):
Code:
ls property_file_spec | while read filename
do
  sed 's/=/;/' "$filename" > "$filename.out"
done

If your list of files is in a file:
Code:
while read filename
do
  sed 's/=/;/' "$filename" > "$filename.out"
done < filename_containing_a_list_of_files
