DNA strands run ANTI-parralel. Also, the base pair T (thymine) can ONLY bond to "A" (adenine) in DNA and the base pair C (cytosine) can only bond to G (guanine).

Because of these two things the new strand will be:
5' ATG GCC TAG 3'
however, if the DNA is being translated into RNA the new strand will read:
5' AUG GCC UAG 3'
"translated" may imply amino acid
5' ATG GCC TAG 3'
would be M A *
* meaning that TAG is the stop codon
