The vapor pressure of the simple substances depends on molecular weight. (If there is no intermolecular bonds)! The more molecular weight - the lower vapor pressure. So, the lower pressure has I2. By the way, at normal conditions: Cl2 - gas Br2 - liquid I2 - solid Because of described above. So the answer is I2
