    southwest

    Explanation:

    Here, all the particles have same charge this means that only repulsive force is acting on the particles according to Coulomb's laws.

    One particle is 1 m to my north and another particle is to my east.

    The particle to my north will push the positive charge I am holding to the south and the particle to my east will push the positive charge I am holding to the west.

    Hence, the resultant direction of the force will be southwest.
