According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the concentration of a reactant or decreasing the concentration of a product will shift the equilibrium to the right to counteract the change. In this case, increasing the concentration of L₂ or H₂ will lead to an increase in the formation of HI to counteract the increase in reactants. Therefore, the reaction will shift to the right (→) to produce more HI.
