the answer is B. increase
because when the pressure is doubled means the molecules are more close to each other so the reaction will be increase :)))

The rate of reaction would increase because as pressure increases the molecules are more likely to bump into each other leading to a more likely hood of the molecules colliding properly to react leading to an increase in the reaction rate of the substance.
