I think this looks like a Marigold, but not sure what specific kind. Certain kinds do get quite big and don't do well in pots.
That being said, it looks like there are two or three stems at least there and this pot may be a little small for this plant. I don't know exactly how dead it might be but it may liven up with a bit more room. Marigolds like loamy soil. A combination of dirt, sand and clay that also drains well. Maybe try a bigger pot and see if it perks up.
