I'm assuming you meant to say
where the '3' is a subscript.
If so, then the inverse is
because exponential functions undo logarithmic ones, and vice versa.
Note that 3 is the base of the log and it's also the base of the exponential.
In general, the inverse of
is
where b > 0 and

Notes:
One curve is a reflection of the other. The mirror line is y = x
The domain and range swap roles between the original and the inverse function.
