One; it's pronounced similarly to "past." It seems like two syllables because we spend so much time on the "-st" or "-sed" sound.

'passed' is pronounced with the ending as a consonant cluster so that the 'e' is not vocalized. Syllables are defined by separate vowel sounds or an accompanying consonant or consonant cluster with the vowel sound. Diphthongized vowel sounds such as the /ai/ in 'right' are not considered separate vowel sounds so this too is one syllable. But a word or name such as Noa is two syllables because the 'o' and 'a' is prononced in dichotomy with emphasis on each of the two vowels.
