It depends on the relative positions of Venus and Mars. If both are on the same side of the sun, about five minutes. If they are on opposite sides of the sun, about eighteen minutes.

It depends on where Venus and Mars are in their orbits. If they were on opposite sides of the Sun, it would take much longer than if they were on the same side of the Sun.
Venus orbits at a radius of about 0.7 astronomical units (AU), while Mars orbits around 1.5 AU. If Venus and Mars were on the same side of the Sun, it would take between 6 and 7 minutes for light to travel between them. If they were on opposite sides of the Sun, it would take around 18 minutes for light to travel between them.

Depends on where they are with respect to each other in orbit around the Sun.
