The forward direction of a chemical reaction is exothermic. What happens if you increase the temperature of the system?

The forward direction of this reaction is exothermic. If the temperature of the system is increased, the equilibrium will move in the endothermic direction to compensate for the extra heat added. More products will be generated for the endothermic reaction (backward reaction).
