The top command lists the priority of running processes under the PR heading. If you have it installed, you can also search for a process and sort by priority in htop.

awk 'print $18' /proc/1337/stat (gets the prio for process 1337).

Other options:

Use ps -o pri. Specify the process id with -p 1337. Or, use -e to list all processes.

Experiment with this as a starting point if you want more than just the priority:

ps -e -o uid,pid,ppid,pri,ni,cmd

cat /proc/PID/stat | awk 'print "priority " $18 " nice " $19'
