For an endothermic reaction, how will the value for Keq change when the temperature is increased?

In an endothermic reaction, the heat enthalphy of the products is greater than the heat enthalphy of the reactants. In this case, an increase in temperature favors the formation of more products via Le Chateliers principle. This change is equal to that Keq will increase.
