    As per Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will tend to shift the equilibrium in a direction away from the disturbance.

    Since, the given reaction is exothermic in nature so, when we increase the temperature then reaction will shift in the direction opposing the increase in temperature. Hence, the equilibrium will shift on left side when we increase the temperature.

    On the other hand, when we decrease the temperature then the equilibrium will shift on the right side.
