Which value of Ke

Which value of Keq indicates in pressure on the equilibrium
A reversible reaction with gaseous reactants and products, such as 2 NO2 <--> N2O4. Although adding or removing
products or reactants will "shift the equilibrium", it will not change
the equilibrium constant, Keq. More often than not, if a book says
that something "shifts the equilibrium" it means that it disturbs the state of dynamic equilibrium but does not actually change Keq. Keq
remains constant.
Here is my question: what DOES change Keq? I know that temperature
changes Keq. Can pressure change the value of Keq? I am guessing that
pressure does NOT change the value of Keq.
