For a given exothermic reactions,Kp and K`p are the equilibrium constants at temperature T1 and T2, respectively. Assuming that heat of reaction is constant in temperature range between T1 and T2, it is readily observed that Kp is greater or less or equals to K `p??

Let's suppose, T2 > T1
For exothermic reactions, on increasing temperature equilibrium shifts in reserve direction and the value
equilibrium constant decreases.
Hence Kp > Kp.

Suppose T2>T1
For exothermic reactions on increasing temprature equilibrium shifts in reverse direction and the valur of equilibrium constant decreases 
Hence, 
Kp>Kp’
