AThe reaction will not change.
BThe reverse reaction will be favored.
CThe reaction will stop completely.
DThe forward reaction will be favored.

DThe forward reaction will be favored

The left side has more molecules, so the reaction mixture will try to counter the increase in pressure by reducing pressure. The pressure reduction will be achieved by shifting equilibrium to the side with less molecules.

D. The forward reaction will be favored
