According to the Le-Chatlier principle, exothermic reactions are favored at low temperatures. The number of moles' are decreasing in reaction. Such reactions, according to the Le-Chateler principle are favored at high' pressure'. This reaction will give maximum yield at reduced temperature and high pressure.

According to Le-chatelier's principle here left to right no of moles decrease.

On increasing pressure the reaction shift where the number of mole decrease.

Oxidation of SO2 +O2= SO3 is exothermic reaction reaction.

To increase SO3 concentration temperature to be kept low says by Le-chatelier's principle.

On increasing pressure the reaction shift where the number of mole decrease.

Oxidation reaction takes place by addition reaction, So3 in unstable state it require pressure to with hold, hence it require higher pressure.
