The equilibrium price will increase and equilibrium quantity will decrease.

Explanation:

When producers see that a certain good will increase in price in order to maintain or increase the money they are generating they will decrease the quantity of the good. If the good is needed or in great demand they can and will raise the price of the good so that they make maximum profit out of it.
