I assume you mean "Mathematica".

One way would be to write the objective function in viable Mathematica
syntax, then use an optimization function such as NMinimize.
expression = Abs[Exp[Pi/4] + Exp[3*Pi/4]*Exp[I*p] +
Exp[Pi/4]*Exp[-5*Pi*I/4] + Exp[3*Pi/4]*Exp[-3*Pi*I/4]*Exp[I*p] +
Exp[Pi/4]*Exp[-10*Pi*I/4] + Exp[Pi/4]*Exp[-3*Pi*I/2]*Exp[I*p] +
Exp[Pi/4]*Exp[-15*Pi*I/4] + Exp[3*Pi/4]*Exp[-9*Pi*I/4]Exp[I*p]];
In[3]:= NMinimize[expression, p]
Out[3]= {14.1582, {p -> -1.87025}}
Generally speaking, if you want to use Mathematica on a problem, you
will need to use Mathematica syntax and Mathematica functions.
