Electrons in the 3p of Cl see a 17+ charge. Those in the 3p of P see a 15+. So what do you think?
The electron in the 2p of Cl is CLOSER to the nucleus than the 3p electron in Cl so the 2p electron, being much closer is more highly attracted. The 4p in Br is a shell further away so it should be the least attracted of all.
