If it is a smooth ceiling then you could use filler (Polyfilla or similar), sand lightly then paint.

If it is a textured ceiling then you will need to buy a bag/tub of Artex repair stuff from a DIY store and follow the instructions on the tub/bag. It is not easy to blend in a repair on a textured ceiling but it can be done with a lot of patience.
