According to Le Chatelier's principle, if the volume of the reaction vessel is increased, the system will shift in the direction where there are fewer moles of gas to occupy the increased volume. In this case, there are fewer moles of gas on the side of the reactants than on the side of the products. Therefore, the system will shift in the direction of the reactants to compensate for the increased volume.
