Answer:

No correlation.

Explanation:

We see that since all the points are scattered around with no clear direction, we have no correlation. We can confirm this by trying to draw a best line of fit, which would be impossible.

You could make an argument saying it is a positive correlation, but that would be very difficult to see.
