Seeing how you do not want to change anything but the CSS file itself you could write a custom method which wraps ResolveURL and appends the last modified date of the css file in a set format (i.e. MMddyyhhmmss). This would automatically update whenever the file gets changed.

Something along the lines of:

    <link href="<%= VersionCssUrl("~/Styles/Site.css") %>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

C#:

    public string VersionCssUrl(string url)
    {
        // Get physical path.
        var path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(url);

        return String.Format("{0}?{1}", 
            ResolveUrl(url), 
            File.GetLastWriteTime(path).ToString("MMddyyhhmmss"));
    }

Alternatively, it might be worth looking into any of these:
