    The direction of magnetic filed will be clockwise along y axis.

    Explanation:

    According to right hand rule,

    Thumb of right hand shows the the direction of current and folded finger shows the direction of magnetic field.

    So, a long and straight wire carrying a current and the direction of current is in the + y direction then the direction of magnetic filed will be clockwise across y axis.
