This is a great question, and not easily answered.
Technically, the exposed pin should be negative, as it is poor practice to leave a positive contact open like that, however…

If the plug is connected to a device, then the exposed contact would be the positive lead and the shrouded contact would be the negative.

For clarity and the hard of hearing I think you need to make the text bigger!
