How to figure the significance level or p value of a survey?

I am pretty familiar with hypothesis testing as well as statistics
related to polls using the binomial distribution.

But, how do you find out the significance or p value for a survey.
Let's say you ask 20 different questions to 500 individuals and the
answers' options are a number between 1 and 5 whose meaning range from
'Strongly disagree' to 'Strongly agree.' How do you figure the
significance level or p value for such a survey?

Thanks for suggesting any statistical method that can handle that
[numerous questions, numerous categories not just yes/no].
