Answer

The equilibrium will shift to the right, producing more $Br_2$ and $F_2$, while consuming more $BrF_5$

Work Step by Step

Lower pressure at constant temperature: Greater volume. With a greater volume, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that has the greater amount of moles. Reactants: 2 Products: 6 Therefore, the equilibrium will shift to the right, producing more $Br_2$ and $F_2$, while consuming more $BrF_5$.
