Phosphorus tribromide has a trigonal pyramidal shape, thus it will have a bond angle of 107 degrees.

In the Lewis structure, the phosphorus has two electrons that are not shared in a bond. These force the other atoms away from that side of the phosphorus atom. This action creates a trigonal pyramidal shape that has a 107 degree bond angle.
