Answer: Increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of corn will increase sharply due to the relative scarcity of corn in the market.

Graphically depicted, the Supply curve will shift to the left due to reduction in supply of corn brought upon by the drought. It will then intersect with the demand curve to bring about a new equilibrium price with a higher price.
