Those 2 resistors could be connected in series or in parallel. The current depends on that information. I will work it both ways.
Series :
The equivalent resistance would be 3 Ω + 2 Ω = 5 Ω
Ohm's Law is I = V/R = (1.5 V) / ( 5 O m e g a) = 0.3A
Parallel:
The equivalent resistance would be 3 Ω 2 Ω 3 Ω + 2 Ω = 1.2 Ω
Ohm's Law is I = V/R = (1.5 V) / (1.2 Omega) = 1.25 A
