Answer

Reaction will shift towards right side(products). Reaction will shift towards left side(reactants). Value of equilibrium constant increases on increasing temperature and decreases on decreasing temperature.

Work Step by Step

As the given reaction is endothermic so heat is absorved in products. On increasing temperature according to Le Chatelier's principlethe equilibrium will shift towards right side(products) to minimize the effect of excess heat. Again on decreasing the temperature according to Le Chatelier's principlethe equilibrium will shift towards left side(reactants). On increasing temperature as the reaction shift towards right side amount/concentration of products in equilibrium mixture increases as a result value of equilibrium constant increases.Similarly on decreasing temperature value of equilibrium constant decreases.
