Answer:

Shift it toward the side with lower total mole concentration

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction will shift in a direction that is less affected by stress, so that the pressure is reduced. This means that the reaction will change towards where there is fewer gas molecules (the fewer gas molecules, the smaller the pressure).
