The number of moles of product formed are less than that of the reactants. So, increasing the pressure will cause the more collision and less intermolecular space. To tackle this, the reaction will tend to acheive a state(between product and reactant) with less number of moles which in this case is the product side. So , increasing the pressure will move the reaction in forward direction.
