The pressure will move the equilibrium toward the side with the smallest volume of gas.
Explanation:
Le Chatelier's principle says that the equilibrium will move to remove stress. Volume and pressure are inversely related. An increase in pressure causes a decrease in volume. By shifting the equilibrium toward the side with less volume the pressure on the equilibrium is reduced.
