Three steps; dehydration, electrophilic addition and nucleophilic substitution.
Explanation:
It's a staged process, you can't do it in one reaction.
First;
Dehydrate the propan-1-ol to propene using
Second;
Add HBr Hydrogen Bromide to the propene. This will form 2-bromo-propane.
Thirdly;
Add dilute NaOH (sodium Hydroxide) to the 2-bromo-propane and propan-2-ol will form as a result of nucleophilic substitution.
