According to Le Chatelier's principle, when we apply high pressure the system will react in such a way that it counters the effect of increasing pressure so, so the system has to shift the equilibrium towards less number of moles side (thereby, decreasing the volume) and thus opposing the effect.
But in the given reaction the numbers of moles are the same in both reactants and products side so, the tendency to shift the equilibrium towards the products side and reactants side becomes equal and thus shows no effect on the equilibrium.
