Problem

A gaseous reaction A(g)+B(g)→products\mathrm{A(g)+B(g)\rightarrow\text{products}} is carried out in a rigid 1.0 L container at 298 K. Partway through the reaction, an inert gas is injected so that the total pressure instantly doubles while the temperature remains constant. Predict whether the reaction rate immediately after the injection will increase, decrease, or stay the same, and justify your answer.
