What you will need to do is to refer to your table of reactivity of metals. It will be either in this chapter or in the index of you text.
Look at the position of the metal on the chart.
If copper is above silver (from the silver chloride) the reaction will not occur (it won't)
Look at the position of iron compared to silver. The metal which is high is more active. If the reactant is higher, the reaction will not occur. If the product is higher, the reaction will occur.
Notice with copper and silver, copper is higher on the chart and is in the reactants. That means it will not occur.
