Upward so the electrostatic force Eq on + charge can balence the gravitational force mg. As the object to be at rest all the forces should cancel each other out so as net force is zero .

Dear student 
Please specify the force acting on the particle, 
If it is only Gravitational force then , particle will experience force downward, 
So electric field must be upward.
Good Luck
