It is 224.7 days.
The synodic period of Venus was measured to be 583.92 days. If the sidereal period of the Earth is 365.26 days, the sidereal period of Venus. Venus is an inferior planet, so we must use the relation
1/S = 1/P - 1/E.
Rearranging and substituting gives
1/P = 1/583.92 + 1/365.26 = 0.00171 + 0.00274 = 0.00445
and hence P = 224.7 days.
