Rhymes with unity and disunity: the stressed vowel plus the ending is /juːnɪti/ (or /uːnɪti/). Be careful with spelling lookalikes: community and immunity end in /mjuːnəti/, opportunity ends in /tuːnəti/ (or /tjuːnəti/), and punitive has first-syllable stress and ends in /pjuːnɪtɪv/. None of these rhyme with impunity as pronounced here.
