Among the two electrodes that are combined to construct a cell, the electrode with smaller reduction potential will acts as anode and another electrode will acts as cathode. 
As the SOP of Ag electrode is -0.8V, hence its SRP is +0.8V and that of Cu is +0.3V. Therefore, Cu acts as anode and Ag electrode acts as cathode. EMF of cell = Ecathode – Eanode = EAg – ECu = 0.8 – 0.3 = +0.5
