There would be no reaction. Chlorine is more electronegative than is bromine so the reaction

Br2 + 2 Cl- --> no reaction

Now the reverse

Cl2 + 2 Br- --> Br2 + 2Cl- would happen but this is NOT what you have in your example

No reaction, since chlorine is more reactive than bromine a single displacement reaction is not possible. If it was flourine there, then chlorine gas would be liberated and HF will be formed.
