Answer:

Contracted blood vessels

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of blood is reduced as the vessels are more narrow due to the contraction, so less blood reaches the respiring tissues, causing the force of blood flow to increase as there is less space for normal blood flow to occur. This means that blood pressure increases.
