@ Vishal

Assuming the charge is initially at rest and no other forces are acting on the particle then,

The force acting on the charge = qE, where, q is the charge and E is the magnitude of electric field.

The direction of the force will be in the direction of electric field if the charge is positive and vice-verse if the charge is negative.And it will travel along line of force.
