Answer:

a) Equilibrium shifts in forward direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

If pressure is increased, equilibrium shifts to the side with the fewer moles of gas.

There are 4 moles of gas in the reactants and 2 moles of gas in the products.

The equilibrium will shift in the forward direction towards the products.

Hope that helps.
