Answer

Increase of pressure

Step-by-step explanation

In accordance with Le Châtelier’s principle, a shift in the equilibrium that reduces the total number of molecules per unit of volume will be favored because this relieves the stress. The reverse reaction would be favored by a decrease in pressure.
