    If good 1 is measured on the horizontal axis and good 2 is measured on the vertical axis, and

    if the price of good 1 is p1 and the price of good 2 is p2; then the slope of the budget line is p2/p1.

    let initially the slope be y/x. now it is 3y/2x. therefore m'=3/2*m, i. e slope increases. hence line becomes steeper.
