When the temperature of the system increases for the given reaction:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) ⇄ 2\text{NH}_3(g) + \text{energy} \]

This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases energy as a product. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium to the left in order to absorb the excess heat.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**The equilibrium will shift to the left.**
