Answer:

The correct answer is: decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Aggregate Supply (AS) is higher than Aggregate Demand (AD), it implies somehow consumers are keeping their income with them. Economic activity will contract as a result but to promote consumption, for instance, banks lower their interest rates on loans with the confidence that consumers will have enough money to cover their debts.
