Step-by-step explanation:

According to Le Chatelier, if the temperature increases, the equilibrium will shift in the direction of the endothermic reaction, but if it decreases, the shift will be in the direction of the exothermic reaction.

If the reaction is exothermic, results in more reactants and fewer products.

Answer: more reactants and fewer products.
