The general rule is to breathe out when exerting, which in this case would mean, doing so when shrugging upwards. That said, I wouldn't worry too much, and would allow your breathing to come naturally.
during rep.....breathe in or out?....I've been breathing in and holding my breathe while contracting each rep

I breath in and rep, and out on the downward motion of the shrug. For other lifts like squats and bench etc, I breathe out when exerting.
