Answer

Not at all.

Work Step by Step

The electric field created by the rod has no effect on the magnetic assuming the compass needle as a whole is uncharged. Therefore, there is no electric force on the compass. The rod does not create a magnetic field, so there cannot be a magnetic force on the compass needle either. So the compass needle does not move.
