According to the law of supply, an increase in price level increases the quantity supplied. On the other hand, according to the law of demand, an increase in price level decreases the quantity demanded. Therefore, an increase in price level will increase the aggregate quantity supplied and decrease the aggregate quantity demanded, resulting in a movement up along the aggregate supply curve and a movement down along the aggregate demand curve.
