Since current is going in vertical direction so the magnetic filed will lie in horizontal plane in which magnetic needle is placed and it will be in circular shape.
Direction of magnetic filed can be found by right hand thumb rule.
So the magnetic field will be in clockwise sense as the fingers will be encircled in clickclocsense.
So the magnetic Needle will deflect along South direction with respect to West.
