The word "con" means "with" in English, and the word "sordina" means "mute". So, the phrase con sordina means that the music is to be played "with a mute". This could be a mute on your Trumpet, violin, drums, etc.

Similar uses of "con": "con anima" means with spirit, "con fuoco" means with fire

In musical terms, it means with the mute function. For example, in piano, there is the foot pedal that mutes the music that you are about to play.
