Answer:
Si<S<P<Cl
The order is Si<S<P<Cl
Generally, ionisation energy increases with atomic number in a period as we move from left to right. But as P has the stability of half-filled 'p' orbital, it has greater ionisation energy than S which has 4 electrons in 3p level and would readily lose the extra electron to acquire the stable half-filled 3p orbital.
