QUESTION

Is HCl a polar or non polar molecule?

It is polar.

Hydrogen has a Pauling value of 2.1, while chlorine has a value of 3.0. As a result, the chlorine pulls electron away from hydrogen, giving the Cl side of the molecule a partial negative charge and the hydrogen side a partial positive charge.

And separation of charge = polarity!

OK.
