Answer

The equilibrium constant will stay the same.

Work Step by Step

The equilibrium constant can't be changed by the addition of any compound. As its name says, the value is constant, and only changes if there is an increase or a decrease in the temperature of the solution in equilibrium. Since the temperature didn't change, the equilibrium constant for that reaction will stay the same.
