Brown spots can appear on your pothos for several reasons. It may be getting too much water and not enough drainage. If it's been exposed to low temperatures for a period of time, it can become stressed with this result, also. The worst case may be that it has a bacterial disease, but that too can be from stressful growing conditions, like being overcrowded. Repotting with fresh, well-draining soil should help. Make sure to remove all the dead or spotted leaves - it will enjoy a good trim. Here's an article for you:
