The answer is it shifts right. This could be explained by Le Chatelier's principle. It states that that when a system experiences a commotion (such as absorption, temperature, or heaviness variations), it will answer to reinstate a new equilibrium state. This just means that if there is an energy added, the reaction is trying to remove it again by going to the right.
