Answer:

Higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Higher light intensity as well as higher concentration of carbondioxide gas will increases the rate of photosynthesis because high light intensity allows the entering of carbondioxide gas inside the leaves through opening of stomata whereas carbondioxide gas is the reactant in the process of photosynthesis. If there are more reactants available so more food is produced in the form of glucose during the process of photosynthesis so we can conclude that high light intensity and carbondioxide levels increases the rate of photosynthesis.
