What happens to the concentration of NO2(g)when the total pressure on the equilibrium reaction

2 Pb(NO3)2(s) <--> 2 PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) is increased (by compression)?
1. increases
2. Unable to determine
3. remains the same
4. decreases

This is what alerted me to my error above. You know how to do this one now.
There are 5 mols on the right and only 2 on the left so the NO2 would decrease, correct?
Yes but your reasoning is faulty. True that there are 4 mols gas on the right but there are no mols gas on the left.
