According to Le cha telier's principle when we increase the pressure of a equilibrium reaction the reaction shift to the side where few moles of gas present.

Your reaction (Notice - I guess the reaction you written is wrong, but still I'm solving with your given prediction)

3NaI (g) + H2 (g) = 2NaHI (g)

Where access of sodium iodide is reacting with Hydrogen gas to form NaHI molecule.

Number of moles of gas on reaction side - 3+2 = 5 moles

Number of moles of gas on product side - 2 moles

Conclusion- the reaction will shift to the right of the reaction
