Spelled like that, it is probably two syllables, like "pas-sed". This is borne out by its use in verse lines in some early plays such as "And passed sentence may not be recall'd" from Act 1 Scene 1 of The Comedy of Errors or "Make thee beg pardon for thy passed speech." from Henry VI Part II Act 3 Scene 2. In both cases, the word must be in two syllables to make ten syllables to the line.

Shakespeare much more often pronounced the word in one syllable as we do nowadays, but when he did he spelled it "pass'd"
