@All.
Since the mole of reactants (2) is more than the mole of the product (1), decreasing the pressure will favour the increase of the dissociation of the product.

According to Le-chatilier principle.
If moles of reactant < moles of product ------> forward rxn and vice versa.
Here n of reactant is lesser so forward rxn.
If moles of reactant < moles of product ------> forward rxn and vice versa.
Here n of reactant is lesser so forward rxn.
