For the given solution :

 At cathode :-    Reaction with greater E0 will take place.

                                     Cu^{2+}\ +\ 2e^-\ =\ Cu_{(s)}

At anode :-     

                               2Cl^-\ =\ Cl_2\ +\ 2e^-

Hence, Cu will get deposited at cathode and Cl2 will be produced from anode.
