Its anti addition. First Cl⁺ attaches to both C atoms, forming a chloronium ion. Then Cl^- attacks a carbon atom by S_N2, opening the 3 membered ring and since it attacks from the backside, an anti product is formed.

If you want to add in a syn manner, you first add to the double bond OsO₄/NaHSO₃ which syn-dihydroxylates the bond, forming a cis diol. Then you use two eq of PCl₅.
