Equilibria — practice question

Ethanol is produced by combining ethene gas with steam in the presence of phosphoric(V) acid. $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(g) \qquad \Delta H = -45\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$ This reaction is carried out at $570\,\text{K}$ and $60\,\text{atm}$. If the reaction were done at the same temperature but at a pressure of $200\,\text{atm}$, what consequences would there be?
