In ice-water equilibrium, when we increase pressure, the equilibrium shifts to forward direction. Thereby, forming more water. The explanation to this which i found in all the books is contrary to what i think. When we increase the pressure, volume decreases. So according to LC principle, the equilibrium should shift in that direction in which the volume should increase. But all the books and internet say that when we increase pressure, equilibrium will shift in that direction in which volume should decrease. I'm confused in this, so i cannot understand all the physical equilibrium.
