$+ 3$ $+3$

Explanation:

In oxides of elements, oxygen atoms normally have $(- 2)$ $( -2)$ as the value.of the oxidation state.

That means $(- 6)$ $(-6)$ charge comes from $3$ $3$ oxygen atoms. Since ${Mn}_{2} O_{3}$ $"Mn"_2"O"_3$ is a neutral compound, each $Mn$ $"Mn"$ atom should have $(+ 3)$ $(+3)$ oxidation value to balance the charge from the oxygen atoms.
