What's different
The vowel is the same in both words, though it changes with the accent: American voices say the a of cat, most others the longer a of father. So the whole difference is the breath at the end.
Pass ends on a sharp, high hiss. Path ends on a soft, flat breath that sounds more like f than s, and even native speakers mix up th and f. So if the end sounds like f, or like hardly anything at all, it's path.
