Expert Solution
Step 1

Increasing the pressure or decreasing the volume will effect the equilibrium of the reaction. 

According to Le Chatelier's principle, If a system in equilibrium is subjected to any change in temperature, pressure, concentration then the equilibrium will shift in that direction just to undo the effect so that equilibrium can be re-established.
