Temperature will change the keq. In this case, the reaction is endothermic so an increase in temperature will shift the reaction to the right, increasing the concentration of products, and decreasing the concentration of reactants, and increasing the keq

Only changing temperature could change a keq.

The correct answer is: increasing the temperature.

What is Le Chatelier’s Principle?
Concerning equilibrium (also called the ‘equilibrium law’):
when a system is at equilibrium, and pressure (increasing or decreasing the volume), concentration, temperature are changed, the system will counteract it and establish a new equilibrium.
The change will partially counteract the applied change.
Equilibrium or Completion:
Strong exothermic reactions tend towards _________
Reactions with slight heat expelled tend towards___________
completion —->, equilibrium <—>
Explain chemical equilibrium.
chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time, so that there is no observable change in the properties of the system.
Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction
