You can't.

You have to use the listbox.

An <asp:DropDownList /> web control is a combination of a dropdown and a
listbox and, as such, allows only one selection to be selected.

What you need is the <asp:ListBox /> web control instead, with its
SelectionMode set to "Multiple". Then, your users make multiple selections
by using the Control and Shift keys in combination with the mouse.
