If you are using TFVC as source control, you can refer to the steps below:

1. Select Security tab for the folder of the project (one of the project in your solution folder)

2. Set Read permissions for the devs to Deny.

If you are using Git as source control, you can't set the security for an item (project in a solution) in the repository. As workaround, you can split projects into multiple repo( submodules ), and then set permissions for each repo.

Here is a case with similar issue you can refer to.
