Liquid.

Explanation:

Melting point = transition from solid to liquid.
Boiling point = transition from liquid to vapour or gas.

In this case the transition from solid to liquid occurs at -16°C, and the transition from liquid to gas occurs at 50°C.

Room temperature will typically be somewhere around the 20 - 25°C region, so the compound will be liquid at room temperature.
