Answer:

open

Explanation:

It would be open, since the inequality:
x > 1 only contains solutions greater than 1, and if you were to plug in 1 as x, you would get:
1 > 1 which is of course not true, so 1 is excluded and thus has an open circle.

The only case where it would be closed is if it's:
x\ge1 where plugging in 1 as x would result in a true statement, thus 1 is included in the interval
