I am having a website which is 3 years old, now I wanted to do some SEO chages into it. so, changed the some urls.
From: /psd-layouts.html to /psd-web-layouts.html
Now my question is that, I had redirect request from first one to second one, but still when checked in Google Webmaster Tools (HTML Improvements section) it shows me that duplicates of the title and meta.
So what should I do for overcome of this situation. I thought that I have to put canonical tag or put first URL in robots.txt but still I am confused for this..
If i would go for canonical tag then How can I put it out:
please input your expert thoughts here

If it's just a different URL, I personally would do a 301 redirect from the old to the new URL.
If that's not possible put a canonical tag like this in the head part of the old page:
<link rel="canonical" href="NEW URL"/>
Do not change the robots.txt. This will only tell Google (and other SE) not to crawl the old page - but will not prevent listing it in the index.
All changes do take a few days to be seen and reported by Google Webmaster Tools anyway - be patient.
