Apps downloaded with a particular Apple Id (email) will forever be tied to it. They will always request that Id and password to update.

If you no longer have access to it, you will have to delete those Apps and download them, (and pay for them if they cost) again with an apple id you currently use.

When Apps require updates, they will ask for the Apple ID used to download them. That is the only point you can know which Apps are tied to another Apple ID.
