The intensity of the image formed on the screen would be reduced by a factor of 2.

 

But there will be no change in the position of the image.

Well when we cover any half of a mirror or lens then the focal lens is not changing. Therefore the position of image will not vary.  But since a half is covered rays approaching that part will not be reflected or refracted therefore image will be having half the intensity as the original one
