A hexagon congruent to the base.
Reason: in a prism all lateral edges are parallel, so a plane parallel to the base meets those edges in corresponding points. That intersection polygon is a translate of the base, hence the same shape and size (if the base is a regular hexagon, the cross-section is a regular hexagon).
