Answer: Increased the blood pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

An increased in the total peripheral resistance also increased or higher the blood pressure. The total peripheral resistance is also known as systematic vascular resistance. This peripheral resistance are maintain by the vasculature and it controls the blood pressure by neutralized the blood flow.

Basically, there are three types of peripheral resistance sources that are:

  • Total vessel length
  • Vessel diameter
  • Blood viscosity
