Positive, because the products (3) * (-3) and (-2) * (4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 * - 1 = - 1, and - 1 * - 1 = 1, the product of opposite signs produces negative numbers while the product of same signs produces positive numbers. So the product of 1 * 1 * 1 * - 1 = - 1, while - 1 * - 1 * - 1 * - 1 = 1.
